Color Hues #90

Good afternoon
I can't quite believe it's July already. In the Beech household we've been working up to a big day next week, my son's wedding! Hopefully I've got everything together and there will be no last minute surprises and the weather behaves, looking forward to the lovely Alex joining the Beech clan.

Anyway, amongst all the prep I still have some DT responsibilities and today marks the beginning of a new colour combo from Color Hues. This new pairing reminded me of winter and that although it is July, those Christmas cards need to be made and I have yet to make good my pledge to get my Christmas stash done in good time. So here is one card that will be making it into that stash!


This card is a really simple make, a die cut and a Brusho panel and a sentiment.
The scene was created using a fave Memory Box die and the panel was made with MM paper, Turquoise Brusho Sprinkle it and some cling film. I made lots last year but my only piece left was too blue so I made another but only needed half to go behind the opening so I can use for another project!
I wet the MM paper, added the Brusho and Sprinkle It, then placed some cling film over the top, scrunched it up over the panel and left it to dry overnight.

The Sprinkle It adds sparkle and the cling film pools the Brusho and the end result is a fab textured panel. This pic shows the sparkle a little better.


On a panel of white card, I die cut with the MB die, Calm Countryside, added another snowdrift with a freehand cut piece of white card glued behind, then the Brusho panel was then added behind, the Funky Fossil sentiment stamped in Altenew Aqualicious completes the top panel. To complete I trimmed the panel down and mounted it onto a base card with foam pads.
So where will our new colours take you? The rest of the team have come up with some fab inspiration should you need it.
Looking forward to see your makes in the Color Hues gallery.

  10. Julie, a Christmas card is a good idea and this one is fabulous! Of course aqua and white are peaceful colors and look lovely in your winter scene. You' inspired me to pull out the brushos again. Hope the wedding and family time are wonderful in every way!
