Hi and Happy Sunday afternoon,
In today's post I have a card made using a couple of challenges. The layout is from this week's Freshly Made Sketches and the colors are from the current Color Hues challenge, where the colors are orange and teal. I'm liking these colors together as it turns out.
The inks, card stocks, background stamp and embossing folder are all from Gina K Designs. The sentiment leaf die is from Concord & 9th. I stamped the Holiday Tapestry stamp using Tranquil Teal ink on opposite corners then used the Holiday Tapestry EF to create the texture. The color of the lighter orange card stock is Sweet Mango.
The C&9th die is cut from Tomato Soup card stock and stitched using teal thread. The card base is Tranquil Teal card stock but in the photo both it and the thread look more blue than teal.
I used another C&9th stamp set for the inside greeting.
Enjoy your Sunday afternoon and evening.
Colleen

That Tapestry stamp is a favorite of mine. I've never seen it embossed with the coordinating embossing folder, but it certainly makes a beautiful background for the stitched greeting! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteThe tapestry stamp and ef from GK are wonderful and you've created one gorgeous card with this Colleen! Putting the sentiment on a leaf between the stamped flourishes was a wonderful way to create a space for it above the embossing. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely card with us at Color Hues!
