Color Hues : Sage & Coral

I am happy to be a guest designer at the Color Hues Challenge this week.

Here is this week's challenge 

I have so many new supplies I think my brain might fry! I should not be allowed any new products for a year.  So I had so use my NBUS supplies : SSS Etched Magnolia dies and the leaves from Etched Meadow flower. Love the dimension you get with this flower.

The background was created using the Altenew Kind Confetti which I only inked once, but stamped twice. 

We're looking forward to seeing your creations.

I will also enter this to ...

Leaf Canopy Collage #2

Here is my second card with the smaller leaf canopy that was left over from THIS card.

As the leaf was smaller, there was more room for the bigger acetate butterfly.

Leaf Canopy Collage #1

Sometimes cards don't go the way you had planned ... they seem to have a life of their own.

I started with wanting a CAS card with the leaf canopy.  I played with the idea of having a pink strip, and the confetti below, but I got stuck! Asked myself all sorts of questions :

• Need to bring in the pink somewhere else. With what? Where?
• Where do I put the sentiment?
• Is it enough? Or too bare?

Do you ever second guess yourself too?

So then I splattered the background - having covered the leaves with their die cuts to protect them. But I didn't like it.  So I die cut them out.

Played around with other die cuts and stamps ... and instead of having 2 leaf canopy stamps, I only used one.  

Come back tomorrow for the second card.

Floral Happy #2

Here is my second card from the Ditsy Print Background. (See the first one HERE).

I created a soft background using the Kind Confetti set. The floral die cut sentiment is popped up and offset on black.

Confetti Macarons

Mixing up some more old and new stamp sets.

Although the confetti stamp is not officially a turnaround stamp, I stamped and rotated the confetti 3 times.

I added Tonic Nuvo Glitter Gloss to add some sparkle to the tag.
