Color Hues #126

Afternoon all.

It's the first day of a new month so it's time for a brand new colour challenge from Color Hues. This time it was my choice of colours and as we enter the month of Valentine's Day, I decided to go with an appropriate colour duo! 

Here's what I made using the new colours.

My colours may not match the prompt but that doesn't matter, its only there to give you a visual clue! You're allowed metallics and neutrals too, of course.

After Uniko's release yesterday, I still had a bit of a stencilled panel of Bauhaus Blocks Spring, which was crying out to be made into a card, so I trimmed what was left of the A5 panel down to be 4 x 4 squares. I've used some Altenew reds and pinks from their Tea Party set for the stencilling, always a good choice for co-ordinating colours, I only used 3, leaving Coral Blush out.

The stencil is a set of three, each layer creating part of the whole and it co-ordinates perfectly with their other Bauhaus Block stencils. Here I've used the Spring and original sets to cover an A5 panel of white card.

To create the backing panels for the stencilling I created a couple of Gelli plate panels using the Altenew inks, a great way to co ordinate your colours without having to rifle through your stash to get the right colour! It also gives the panels a more interesting slightly shaded effect you don't get with cardstock. The gold letters were cut from a scrap of gold card with an MFT die set and glued to some more black letters to create a shadow, before adding to my panel. The completed panel was then added to a 5 x 5 inch white note card.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with using my colours. You don't need to make it a Valetines card, surprise me! For more pink and red inspiration please check out the rest of the team and our GD JoAnn here.
