These colours are not my favourites by any stretch of the imagination and creating with them isn’t something I would normally do. I guess that is why challenges are good for us. They get us out of our comfort zones.
Color Hues #92 – Pink and Brown is the latest challenge and this card is what I came up with. It started with the water coloured piece that I had played with some time ago. I used a Spellbinders die set that is for creating envelopes to get the two pieces shown here. I used another die in the set to emboss the water colour piece. Then I took another scrap piece that is from an actual painting and did the 2nd one. The PP is from an old pad I’ve had forever and I cut it down, added a ribbon and then added the foam backed shaped layers. Using more scrap CS I stamped the leaves twice using a leaf clusters stamp and die set from Altenew. Sentiment from that set too. I stamped using Gathered Twigs ink and added the leaves as you see attaching them together at the stems. Using a Memory box daisy die I cut the flower twice added some pink ink by swiping and put them together before adding the pink center petals and the flower center. To soften the stark edges of the leaves I took a gold glitter pen and lightly went around some of them.
My hubby likes the end result, I’m on the fence about it. Thanks for stopping by, it is appreciated.

It looks nice. I like the flower and I see embossing, both add a nice touch.

Well you managed to create a gorgeous card out of your not so fav colors. (That is how I feel whenever someone chooses purples. LOL!) Love the layers and textures. Thanks for your support of Color Hues, Johanna.

Awesome card for dealing with colors not in your spectrum. It’s a great combination of pink and brown, the dies for your landing of your florals is awesome with the right amount of texture. Another vote with Derek.

It looks like you had fun breaking out of your “color box” with this combo and created something that is not your norm. That challenge of using what we don’t really like, or don’t know helps us grow. Great job.
