Pink and Aqua for Color Hues

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I am so excited to be part of the Design Team at Color Hues!
It's one of my favorite challenges and I'm thrilled to join these talented 
designers to bring you inspiration using the chosen colors.

For my first card as a Color Hues designer, I chose to use this sweet
Sing Joy elfette!


My sweet friend Marcia chose the fantastic colors of Pink and Aqua for this challenge.

I'm calling this little gal Joy as she has a joyous spirit and sings with all her heart.
She was stamped on Mixed Media Paper with Memento ink and watercolored using
Stampin' Up inks.  I used the die to cut her out and cut the sentiment too, adding
a little ink to shade it.  Her hat brim and pom-pom are winked.

Snowfall was added using chunky white embossing powder and heating from 
underneath so it didn't blow away.

There's a special Guest Designer, Teresa, joining us for this challenge.  Do check out
her fun card and see the wonderful inspiration that the rest of the team has to
share with you.  Then I hope you'll join us using any hue of these two colors.
Neutrals are always welcome.  The challenge closes on November 29th.


How can you use these colors?  I hope to see you in the 
Color Hues gallery.

Ohmygosh, Bonnie! I was certain that I had left comments to welcome you to the team and to gush over your card, but apparently I didn't. A zillion apologies for being late in doing so; let's correct that right now.
So thrilled to have you as part of the CH family, sharing your abundant creativity with us and our players. Speaking of which: your little Caroler, dressed in a sweet pink and aqua outfit, singing her heart out, is the picture of joy. Talk about a Fa-la-la-abulous debut!
