Guest Designer Color Hues #45: Peach & Gray





Hello and happy Saturday.  I am posting today as the Guest Designer at Color Hues #45, where the colors are Peach & Gray.

This is such a lovely color scheme, and I immediately thought of creating some peach flowers.  This card actually was quite quick and easy to make.  I pulled out a very old PTI stamp (Bigger Blooms, I think) and stamped one corner in DO Dried Marigold.  Flipped the card over and stamped the opposite corner.  It looked a little flat, so I used colored pencils to add a bit of darker peach to the flowers.  Then I cut the center out of the panel and popped it up just a bit for some added dimension.







This is where I confess that for my first version of the card, I got the colors wrong.  For some reason, I had it in my mind that the colors were Coral and Gray.  No, I did not check the email before starting my card!  So, at least the card was very quick and easy to make, and once I realized that Coral was the wrong color, it was very easy to redo using peach.




A very happy mistake, because now I have two cards!





I big 'THANK YOU' to the kind folks at Color Hues for having me as their Guest Designer for this fun challenge.  I would encourage you to head over to the Color Hues blog to see the lovely inspiration provided by their Design Team.

Thanks for Visiting

    It's so lovely to have you join us as Guest Designer. I love the simplicity of your card, and the way you've die cut and popped up a potion of the stamped images! Such an effective design!
