Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
It's time for another challenge at Color Hues.
This time the challenge is brought to us by my sweet friend Marcia.
She chose.....

Aren't they perfect for Fall cards?
I've die cut the sunflower blossoms four times from So Saffron and Pale Papaya
cardstock, then colored with tiny blending brushes and Distress Inks.
I stacked the two yellow and two rust with alternating petals and popped
a die cut center over each.
Leaves were die cut from a snippet of kraft cardstock and I sponged the
edges with some Toffee Crunch ink.
This leafy embossing folder has an unembossed circle in the center that's
perfect for adding the sentiment.
Now let's go over to Color Hues and see what the my talented friends have done to inspire you.
I hope you'll create a card using Rust & Yellow and add it to the gallery at
Please only use hues of these two colors. Neutrals are welcome.
Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on October 14th.
The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall
winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.
Most importantly, just have fun!

Beautiful card Bonnie. Your sunflowers are so pretty and I love the shading on them. The embossed background is perfect for the lovely blooms.
Those flowers sure are pretty - red and yellow is my favorite color combination, never thought of red and rust but I know I like it. I see you post most every and I wonder how in the world do you make cards so fast. There is always some thing interesting, be it an embossed background or the die cuts you use. You painting is always beautiful. And a good example is today where you use interesting techniques I have never thought of.

Sunflowers were the way to go with that color combination, Bonnie, and yours are so pretty on that embossing folder.
Beautiful! Sunflowers, Fall leaves -- so many wonderful choices this time of the year!
Really nice to see some fall colors! Lovely card... like the way you use embossing folders & die cuts. Get very tired of Christmas from July -January!

I nearly reached for this set when I was making my card. That embossing folder background really was made for those sunflowers. Gorgeous card, Bonnie!
Bonnie, you've found the perfect die for Marcia's color choices today! btw she reminded me that green is NOT a neutral today - let's see if I can manage to remember that! lol

Wonderful use of those colours in the beautiful sunflowers! Love the way that embossing folder has an empty space in the middle for the sentiment!
Looks like we were thinking along the same lines again using sunflowers Bonnie, and I absolutely LOVE your beautiful yellow & rust colored ones!
