Happy Sunday crafty friends!
I can't even begin to tell you how done I am with winter and the mountains of snow we have gotten this year! Today we are having another snow storm. Every window I look out has a wall of at least 5' of snow and growing. The snowbanks at the road are at least 10' tall and we are running out of places to put the snow! Poor Jax is wondering where all his grass has gone! So if the groundhog was right this should all be done in a few weeks--ha ha, not likely!
Moving on to something more interesting and fun, the newest challenge at The Color Hues Color Challenge has started. The Colours for challenge #104 were picked by my teammate Bonnie Klass and she chose fabulous Coral and Yellow!
I started off by stencilling my background using the new Concord & 9th Kristina Werner Love You Lots stencil. I used Catherine Pooler Do Si Do, Coral Cabana, Tiara and Catching Rays ink to for my background. It's such a creative stencil because the four layers fill a half sheet, 8 1/3" x 5 1/2", piece of cardstock. Once completed you can either cut it in half for two cards or score it so that your card is stencilled front and back. I trimmed mine down to 5" x 3 3/4".

10 feet of snow is so incredible. I know you are so tired of winter and I hope this is the last of it or at least these huge amounts. As for your pretty heart card, it looks lovely in shades of yellow and coral. I also like the textured background too. Take care!
YIKES to all of that snow and YAY to your cute card!
I love how you got various shades of these colors in your hearts, Tracey! It makes for such an pretty and fun background! The embossing adds texture and interest and your sentiment fits it all so perfectly!
Your fabulous card is an antidote to all this awful winter weather. I've never seen that stencil, and your bright and cheerful card would cheer up anyone! Love it!
Here's me complaining of grey skies and you have to contend with 10ft snowdrifts! The weatherman says that warmer temps are coming but they will be accompanied by rain so not all good! Your bright and breezy take on the colours is a welcome shot of colour, though the sun has threatened to show it's face today! :)
I'm sure glad we have cards to keep us busy when the snow fall keeps coming. Your hearts are fun in the challenge colors, Tracey, and I love the embossed background and those iridescent heart embellishments.
So bright and cheery Tracey! This will definitely put a smile on whoever receives this sweet, sweet card! And sorry about all the snow you've gotten...I promise I won't complain too loudly about ours anymore!! Hang in there my friend!! Hugs. :0)
