Good Morning!
I have exciting news ---
I'm the Guest Designer for the Color Hues Challenge!
Color challenges are my favorite and I really love today's colors:
Aqua and White have been a favorite color combo of mine for a very long time. They were my wedding colors 34 years ago.
I really enjoyed playing around to make this card. I did some gelli plate techniques with a stencil, a brayer and my Catherine Pooler Dye inks to make my background full of aquaness. I've had the Birch Press Lotus Flower layered die for a while now and have not played with it until now. I love it dressed all in white! I had some aqua foiled sentiments in an envelope on my table and thought this one was perfect. I finished the card off with a few pearls within the flower.
I can't wait to see how you are inspired with these colors and all the inspiration from the Color Hues Team!
For Other Following Challenges:
Stamps: Fancy Script background stamp (Hero Arts).
Paper: Neenah 110# Solar White
Ink: Fiesta Blue dye ink (Catherine Pooler Designs).
Extras: Mandala Stencil (TCW-Rebekah Meier); Lotus Flower die (Birch Press Designs); Sentiment foil die and label die (Spellbinders); Pearl gems from stash.
I'm glad you stopped by my blog.
Have a great day!
Come back soon! 💖

Hey Nancy! I saw this on IG and loved it and you are also in my comment list here so I will reiterate that I love this design and all of you colors! It’s gorgeous! Thanks so much for joining us this week at the Krafty Chicks Challenge! - Rachelle
What a beautiful card! I loved reading about your process in creating that wonderful tone-on-tone background, and that lotus flower die cut is gorgeous. What fun that you ended up as our Guest Designer when the colors were your wedding colors! So happy to have you as our GD!
Love that background, I thought at first that it was a panel of DP but congrats on your Gelli plate print. It certainly is the perfect foil for your stunning lotus flower. So pleased to have you GD with us this time. :)
Nance, This card is just as pretty as can be and I love how you did the background. Glad you enjoyed my colors and so happy to have you guesting with us! Take care!
