Color Hues #86

 Welcome back! We have a new colour duo starting today at the Color Hues for Color Challenge #86! Teammate Julie Beech picked a fun colour combination of Lilac & Lime!

I did a little double embossing for this card. I embossing a card sized panel of white cardstock with the Altenew Book Engravings Embossing Folder. Then I added colour to the inside of the embossing folder by ink blending some Catherine Pooler inks (listed below). I added another card sized panel of white cardstock and ran it through my Gemini Jr. I add a little bit more ink over the raised paths of the panel. Then I did something I thought I would never do again, but I fussy cut the flower and some of its leaves! 

I trimmed the first white embossed panel down to have a 1/8" border around the edge of the card front and I attached it. Then I glued the coloured embossed, fussy cut flower over the coordinating part of the white panel.


The sentiment is a Happy Birthday die from Paper Roses that I cut if shiny gold cardstock and the shadow I cut from lightweight vellum.



Thanks so much for stopping in and please have a look at the what the rest of the design team made for this challenge over at the Color Challenge!

    Your fussy cutting was well worth the effort Tracey. The coloured fussy cut spray looks fab against the white embossed background. :)

    Tracey, you are a brave woman to fussy cut that intricate embossed image lol! BUT the result is fabulous with added dimension and color using the embossing folder. So gorgeous and I appreciate the inspiration to try something new!
