guesting at color hues!

 Hello and happy Friday everyone!  I'm so excited to be guesting at Color Hues for their new challenge!  A big thank you to the team for having me!  The colors for this challenge are aqua and lime green.  The minute I saw that I knew I was going to use my Spellbinders Glimmer system and do some hot foiling.  I have foils in a beautiful light blue called Skybright and a lime green called Citrine that are perfect for this challenge. (Isn't the graphic so fun?!)


I started by foiling the circle background using the Citrine foil and the foil plate from the Spellbinders May glimmer kit.   Once I was done with the foiling I die cut the panel with a Spellbinders Essentials rectangle die.  I then glimmered the happy birthday sentiment from the June glimmer kit with the Skybright foil and then die cut it with the matching die.  I also foiled the sub-sentiment in the Skybright foil and then die cut it.   I hope you can tell that the foiled circles are a nice limey-green.


I popped up the sentiments on the front of the panel and then decided that the card needed something more.  So I added sequins!  The green sequins are a little bit deeper in color then the foiling, but I think they still work well with the citrine foil that I used.   As you can see I did a simple alternating of the green and light blue sequins.  As I was adhering the sequins I was a little nervous as I thought it might be too much, but honestly I think the sequins are simply perfect!

I hope you will take the time to play along with Color Hues over the next two weeks!  Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

I didn't realise it was all hot foiled, I used one a while back but couldn't get the right effect. Perhaps I should have persevered as this looks fab. So happy to have you GD this time. :)

Such a fun card -- and all those sequins add the perfect shimmer, in addition to the foiling
