Carol here, one of Color Hues' designers and a designer/behind-the-scenes organizer of Inkspirational Challenges.
The design team gals and I at Inkspirational are delighted to participate in this first-time collaboration with Color Hues. Hopefully, you’ll find our team’s contributions as inspiring as those created by the team here.
This collaboration serves two key goals: to increase the exposure of both challenges to players who may/may not know about them and to offer YOU a chance to share your projects in two galleries. If you link up here, please hop over to Inkspirational and link up there as well.
A wee bit about Inkspirational Challenge, in general:
We’re a two-week challenge that features a rotation of: Word Prompt, Designer's Choice, Mood Board, Clean and Simple, Use Stencils and Seasonal. We’re pleased to have a strong group of participants who embrace our challenges with enthusiasm and creativity on a regular basis. We look forward to introducing them to Color Hues and hope they'll add this engaging challenge to their crafting repertoires.
So, let's get going with what I have to share using these two great colors! I started with an oldie from Penny Black stamps called ...goodness and it's from 2015. Take a look...
Isn't she a cutie?! I colored her with my Copics and then fussy cut her out. I added her to a background that I used a SB Heart Swag embossing folder and also die cut a heart from red & pink using The Greetery's Nordic Hearts dies.
Here's a close up so you can see the embossed details better on the background and the hearts. I used foam tape behind the little girl and then finished with a sentiment strip embossed in white on black cs and a few Disco Ball Sequins (Gina K).
I always stamp 2 images in case of a mess up and decided to finish up the 2nd one with just a reversal of the red & pink and now have 2 of the 3 Valentine cards I need for my granddaughters.
So there you have what I came up with using RED & PINK for this challenge. We can't wait to see what you come up using these 2 colors, and don't forget to check out all the inspiration from the DT here at Color Hues and also at Inkspirational. You will only need to link up your card at one of the challenges and then the system will automatically link you to the other one. Both these challenges are open till Friday, Feb. 14th @ 9:00AM.
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

The little girls are darling, Marcia, and your fussy cutting skills are marvelous. Any young girl would love to receive these valentines.
Oh Marcia, she reminds me of Shirley Temple. Darling image and cards. Always nice to have a twofer.
That little gal hasn't lost a bit of her cuteness since 2015! How great to get two wonderful valentines with the same wonderful design!
Well, aren't they the sweetest girlies?! I can see they both are blowing kisses to their sweethearts -- so fun, Marcia
Your little girl is so cute Marcia standing in front of the fab die cut heart. It might be an oldie but it's definitely a goodie! :)
This is so sweet!! I love that you created two of the same card with different colored hearts.

Marcia, your little girl with her lollipop is a timeless image - and she's perfect for not one, but two, absolutely darling Valentine cards for your grand-daughters. They will love them, as do I! Hope you'll bring her over to the Ink gallery when you have a chance.
