Amber and Burnt Red for Color Hues

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

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.


This month our talented Steph picked our colors.  She chose....


Aren't these beautiful fall colors?

They were perfect for this Papertrey Ink bird die set that recently arrived in
my craft room.

I die cut this plump little guy from a piece of Crushed Curry textured cardstock that
I'd been hoarding for a 'few' years.  I added a bit of ink blending around the edges
and plopped him on a branch watercolored in shades of red.

I punched some bits of gold metallic cardstock to add to the background 
and leaves.

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our
fantastic Guest Designer Crystal have done to inspire you.

Your card and or project can use ANY HUE of the TWO Colors selected for you, 
and of course, neutrals are welcome.  
Our Neutrals are: white, black, grey, kraft, brown, cream, and metallics. 
Remember that green is not a neutral. 

I hope you'll create a card using Amber & Burnt Red and add it to the gallery at


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!

Turning the Page October 2026

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

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the first day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our October page.



By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

Email link is on the sidebar.
