Color Hues Challenge #57 - Coral & Sage

Hello friends.  It's time for another Color Hues Challenge and this time we're looking for the colors CORAL and SAGE on your cards.


These colors are just perfect for florals, but I went with leaves and berries from a PFS Christmas set called Berry Branch and just love how it turned out!  Take a look...


 I embossed the image in silver and then used the coordinating stencils to color in the Coral Cabana ink (Catherine Pooler) and Soft Succulent ink (SU!).  After die cutting the image, I mounted it to the Ornate Oval Frame Die (PFS) and adhered both to a panel that I used the Stitched Diamonds Cover Plate Die (PFS) on.


  My sentiment (Perfect Sentiments - PFS) was embossed in silver and looks SO much better in real life.  I finished this card with a few Iridescent Gems from PFS.

We can't wait to see what YOU come up with using these two colors, so check out what the DT and our GD came up with for some more inspiration, and then play along with us right HERE.  This challenge will be open till the 14th @ 9:00AM.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Beautiful leaves with berries, Marcia. Love them overtop of the gorgeous vintage frame. xx

This is so absolutely beautiful, Marcia! It hardly strikes me as being only two colors because you used them so well with these beautiful dies and stencil. Coral and sage has always been a favorite color combo of mine. They were the first colors I ever bought from Stampin Up and I still have them. Your card is truly swoonworthy!
