Hello Crafters,
Today, we have a very special Challenge here at Color Hues!
In conjunction with our normal Color Challenge, The Color Hues Design Team and a few guests, from our sister challenge Seize the Birthday, are participating in a Blog Hop!
Collectively as a team, we are hopping in memory of our dear friend, fellow cardmaker, and Design Team member, Lindsey Martin-Penny, who sadly passed away last year from a rare and aggressive form of Ovarian Cancer.
The purpose of this hop will be to honor Lindsey, celebrate her life and all that she loved, as well as spread the word to raise funds for Clear Cell Ovarian Cancer Research.
How can you Help? You can find all the fabulous details and the start of the hop HERE!
In honor of Lindsey, the team has created a variety of cards using her favorite color combo of Purple and Red.
I didn't know Lindsey all that well except for comments she would leave when I used to play along with Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags challenge each November , and Lindsey's tags would always inspire me, which in turn would have her leaving sweet and encouraging comments on my posts!
To honor Lindsey and her favorite color combination, I pulled out an older MFT stamp set called Pretty Poppies, which I thought was appropriate considering Poppies are connected with remembrance. Take a look...
To finish I added a sentiment from The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Thinking of You and also a few purple gemstones from PFS.
We hope you'll play along with us for the next 2 weeks using Lindsey's favorite colors and flood our gallery with all sorts red & purple cards. We have lots of inspiration for you at our challenge site that you can find right HERE. This challenge will be open till Thursday, September 28th @ 9:00AM.

This is GORGEOUS, Marcia! What a wonderful remembrance of Lindsey! The poppies are brilliant and I love the script with the torn edges! An awesome use of these colors!
An ingenious way of combing the two colours Marcia, love the soft purple script stamping behind those poppies. :)
Poppies are my second favorite flower and yours are beautiful, Marcia. I love the torn panel with the script on it. What a wonderful tribute to Lindsey.
Amazing card to honour your dear friend, Lindsey. I love the combination of purple and red on your beautiful poppies. And the torn script on your card is just perfect for the occasion. Great work Marcia.
Keeping up with commenting on IG and forgetting to come by your blog - thank goodness for my Followit news this morning!
I love Poppies, Marcia - the perfect flower to pick for honoring Lindsey... and the purple script still gets all the heart-eyes, my friend!

I'm so sorry about Lindsey. I didn't know her but I can certainly empathize with the loss felt by all those who loved her. You've made a beautiful card in tribute, Marcia.
Marcia, you know Lindsey would absolutely love this card! Poppies were one of her favourite flowers and the text is a tribute to her love of books and reading. Thank you for participating in this special tribute to our dear friend! 💜❤️
Love all the texture you added.
Emily took the words right out of my mouth. The script text reminded me right away of what an avid book lover Lindsey was. This is a beautiful card! Thanks for making the colors so appealing.
Amazing and beautiful, such a perfect tribute to Lindsey! Love the script behind the flowers, and you've chosen the perfect colors
What an amazing thing your all are doing to honor Lindsey's memory and support this most needful cause. Your card is gorgeous my friend.
Your bright and beautiful poppies look perfect on the purple script background! This is fabulous, Marcia!
Marcia, this is such a lovely card with the beautiful poppies and addition of the script background. Love your gorgeous card and from the other comments, you definitely channeled some of the things Lindsey loved - poppies, reading and CAS, and that is just the best!

This card is so gorgeous and such a beautiful tribute, Marcia. I love your textures with the torn and embossed layers, and your thoughtfulness in using the poppies. LOVE how you added the lilac to the stamped images, you have so inspired me with this card!
