Color Hues Challenge #111 - CORAL & GREEN

Hello friends.  Time for a new challenge here at Color Hues and our hostess Sheri has chosen the color pairing of CORAL & GREEN.

I love the color CORAL, and GREEN goes perfectly with it...especially for flowers!!  Here's what I came up with using a new PB stamp called delicate blooms.


This stamp is red rubber, so it was perfect to use the faux water coloring technique on. To do this technique you simply use water based markers (NOT copics!) directly on the red rubber, mist with water and then stamp!  I used Calypso Coral and Garden Green inks (SU!).


  Once my panel was dry I used Gina K's Master Layouts #1 dies to cut out the larger and smaller rectangle and then used the little bit larger dies to cut the green layers.  I love using Gina's Master Layout dies as you get perfect layers every time!!  Before adhering the smaller rectangle down, I wrapped a piece of rarely used ribbon (SU!) with sparkles on it for a little bling, and then finished with a SB's Press Plate (A Little Message Sentiments) sentiment. A pretty simple CAS card and I liked it so much I made two more (using different colors) to have enough birthday cards to get me through this month.

Sheri and the DT (and our Special GD Barbara too!) have some wonderful inspiration for you using this color pairing, so check it all out right HERE and play along with us!  This challenge is open till Saturday, June 14th @ 9:00AM.


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

  11. Absolutely beautiful, Marcia! I love these colors, and the stamp is gorgeous. I have been playing with a PB brushstroke stamp the last few days and have just now learned to love them! Your card design is clean and stylish, and the ribbon is a pretty touch. I have a drawerful of rarely used ribbon, tsk. Your card is a treat for the eyes!

  16. Oh, Marcia, these whimsical flowers are so beautiful, and gorgeous in coral and green! I think those Master Layout dies are one of the most used dies I own, but I've never used the narrow rectangle, and it is just perfect here. A fab CAS card, my friend!
