Coral and Yellow for Color Hues

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

It's mid month and time for another Color Hues Challenge and this month
I am hosting and got to choose the colors.  


The colors I chose are.....


I chose to use the coral on this lovely die cut butterfly.  Don't you love the details and layers
on the edges?  I added some little punched flowers for whimsy.

The background was smooshed into Mustard Seed ink spritzed with water, dried then
smooshed with some spritzed Calypso Coral.  I blotted it some when wet to keep it light.

The very talented Design Team and our Guest Designer, Teresa, have some 
beautiful cards to inspire you.  I can't wait to see what you can do with these colors!

Please join us at Color Hues.
This challenge is open until February 29th at 9:00 AM EST.

You used your chosen colours so beautifully - there is a lovely softness to them. Love the way the smooshing added random colour behind the cover plate. Also love the way you added flowers to the butterfly.

That butterfly was so pretty on it's own and your creative genius shows strong by added those sweet flowers. I would have never thought to do that. Wonderful card to brighten someone's day and great color combo!
