sending hugs...

 Hello!  Popping in today with a card for the current Color Hues challenge, as well as the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge of anything goes.   Let's have a look.


Everything used on this card is from Birch Press Design.  I did direct to paper inking to get the colors that I wanted using Pinkfresh Studio inks.  I wanted the flowers to be two close shades of red and the stems on dark shade of aqua.  I then used a lighter aqua shade on white cardstock for the word hugs.  The sentiment was stamped using the dark aqua ink and trimmed out.  For added interest I used Layer C from the Viola plate layering die set.   I layered that on a white cardstock base and then added the flowers and sentiment.  The white on white background provides interest to the flowers, but doesn't overpower them. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Wonderful use of the color combo! Those flowers are gorgeous & it's great to see how beautiful it is to just use 1 of the BP cover plates in the set! I can never get all 3, but now I'll consider getting just one.
