Color Hues Challenge #113

Happy Canada Day!

and

Happy Birthday Mom! My mom is 94 today!

 Today is the start of a brand new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge!

I'm your hostess this challenge and in honor of Canada Day the colors for challenge #113 are Red & White! When it came time to create my original plan did not work out. Do you ever have one of those days when the bet laid plans just do not work--lol!

So the move from ink blending to coloured cardstock and a quick turn to the left and here we have it a new design! In honour of the holiday I made a Canada flag that is a bit wonky and fun.


A couple of strips of red cardstock on the edges to make the flag. Then I cut the maple leaf using a very old and classic die from Lawn Fawn called Stitched Leaves. I cut three of them and glued them together for dimension.


I cut the letters using MFT Stitched Alphabet in red and Spellbinders gold sparkle cardstock. Since the set has been discontinued I added a link below to the Lawn Fawn Oliver's Stitched ABC's which is a great substitute. They were glued together and added randomly to the card base with thin foam strips.


The words Happy and Day are from Lawn Fawn's Build A-Sentiment Spring. White emboosed on black and trimmed down and also added using foam tape.

f you haven't already visited the Color Hues Color Challenge Blog I hope you stop by and see what my fabulous teammates have created for the challenge. 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!
