Guest Designer for Color Hues Challenge #96 - Purple and Orange


Hello again.  I’m excited to be back with another guest designer post.  This time it’s at The Color Hues (TCH) for their PURPLE AND ORANGE challenge #96. 

*affiliate links were used in this post when possible at no extra cost to you… thank you*

It appears orange is a very popular colour this time of year. 😆  This colour duo screamed Halloween, but I went in a slightly different direction and created a fall birthday card.


I used never-before-used (NBUS) Build-a-Wreath die set from Spellbinders and die cut the branches/twigs and flower centers from brown cardstock.  The rest were die cut from white and ink blended with distress inks (DI) using various size blending brushes.  Highlights were added with a white Posca pen

DI used:
bow - Wilted Violet, Villainous Potion 
flower petals - Spiced Marmalade, ink remaining on an orange blender brush 
flower centers - Gathered Twigs, Black Soot 
leaves - Spiced Marmalade, Rusty Hinge


The sentiment from Hero Arts Let’s Celebrate was stamped with Wilted Violet distress oxide ink onto white woodgrain paper from Memory Box.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.



I want to thank Nancy and TCH team for this GD opportunity.  To see more inspirations from the design team and/or to link up your entry, please click HERE.  Thank you for stopping by.
