Color Hues #126 - Red & Pink

Well there is certainly no shortage of snow here again this year! After Christmas my husband and I were talking abouot how the snow so far wasn't bad. No sooner were these words spoken and a three day snow event has left us with our fill--lol! It's still so much less than last year but enough.

Today we start a new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge. Teammate Julie Beech is our host for this challenge and she chose the colours Red & Pink! Perfect for a Valentines card which is the first thing that came to my mind!

Last year I purchase a few Valentine items from Pretty Pink Posh. For my card I used the Double Heart Shaker dies. I started off by cutting my heart pieces, the main double heart and the two heart pieces all cut from white cardstock. 

The two separate hearts were ink blended using Distress Oxides ink in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, Festive Berries and a touch of Candy Apple.

I made my card base and then matted it with a piece of pink cardstock. I cut it to 5 1/4" x 4" and glued it to the card base with liquid adhesive. the large white double heart was adhered to the card base and then the ink blended hearts were added with liquid glue!

The sentiments are also from Pretty Pink Posh! It's from the Valentine Greetings stamp set! It was stamped in black and die with the co-ordinating dies. I cut two more layers from the sentiment die and glued the three pieces together with liquid adhesive before adding it to the ink blended hearts!

Such a fun colour palette challenge, perfect for Valentines but really for any occasion!
