Color Hues #79 - Copper and Green

 We have a new colour duo starting today at the Color Hues for Color Challenge #79! Teammate Karen Walker picked the colours for this challenge, what a unique colour palette of Copper and Green! I pulled some supplies and decided to go with a St. Patrick's Day theme. 

  

I have a couple stamp sets from Catherine Pooler that came in an Club Sursee kit. The stamp set I chose to use is called Lucky Charm and I chose Catherine Pooler Lime Rickey ink for my green.

Using my MISTI and moving my paper along I was able to stamp the rainbow images in a perfect line. The embossed rainbow in the centre was stamped in first with Versafine ink after I had the other two stamped in green.

Now for the copper, I went through my embossing powders and found a jar of Brutus Munroe detailed embossing powder called Penny! It is the perfect shade of copper when heat embossed. I was doing some gymnastics when taking photos so you could see what I see.

A little side story, we no longer have pennies in circulation in Canada. They were withdrawn February 3, 2013. So how does that work? When pennies are not available transactions are rounded to the nearest five-cent increment. It manages to work itself out. For those who want to make sure they are paying the exact amount you can use a debit or credit card.

I added a couple sentiments from the set in black and finished it off by stamping and die cutting a four leaf clover from the Clovers & Blooms stamp set also from the same Club Sursee kit. I added that with a bit of foam tape.

The panel, trimmed to 5 1/4" x 4" was added to the card base with foam tape for a bit of extra dimension.

 

If you head over to the Color Hues blog you will see what the rest of the team has made with these colours. I thought the assortment of cards was amazing!

I can't wait to see what you do with these colours!
