Color Hues #119 - RUST & YELLOW

Hello friends.  Happy October!  This year is flying by and my favorite season is upon us...I love FALL!!  I get to be the hostess for this current challenge at Color Hues and I've chosen the pairing of RUST & YELLOW.

My first thought for my card was pumpkins and leaves, but ended up changing my mind and going sunflower...I just can't seem to get enough of them this year!!  I did a little bit of ink blending and then used a Gina K stamp called Blooming Sunflower.  Take a look...


I used a circle mask and ink blended Summer Sunrise & Terracotta Tile inks (PTI). I left the mask in place and stamped the Blooming Sunflower in black ink over the mask.  I trimmed it down with a Master Layout #2 die (Gina K) and then ran it through with my Subtle ef (SU!).  



 The DT has some awesome inspiration for you using the rust and yellow color pairing, so check it all out right HERE and then play along with us...we'd love to see YOU in the gallery!  This challenge is open till Tuesday, Oct. 14th @ 9:00AM.



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

You can't go wrong with a good sunflower, Marcia and this one is pretty! Love those marvelous sunset colors you've given it. This is a lovely sympathy card.

Oh, how absolutely beautiful this is, Marcia! I love the CAS card design with the circle image and curved sentiment. The blended ink colors are my favorites this time of year. That really is a lovely, detailed sunflower stamp, too. I say enjoy them if you've got them!
