Hello,
Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #79, where our wonderful hostess, Karen, invites us to combine hues of Copper and Green as inspiration for the next two weeks. A new metallic + plenty of options for green = a fabulous, fun challenge!
We're delighted to have Greta as our guest designer for this challenge.
In a spur-of-the-moment decision - well, actually, to reach a 'free shipping' threshhold - Tim Holtz's Rupert landed in my cart. My bought-on-a-whim purchase would up being a ton of fun! Not only is he quite easy to assemble, but ohmystars! What a cutie! Extra fabulous: 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, so I have big plans for Rupert to star on a few stages over the next while!
Balloons are from Concord & 9th that I jazzed up with some wee xoxo teensy copper die-cuts; the gift is TH Mimi Christmas icons, sentiment is from Honey Bee stamps; the slimline (haven't made any of those in ages!) is Studio Katia. In real life, the copper is VERY shiny!
Hope Rupert brings you a smile!
Looking forward to seeing your Copper and Green creations in the gallery.
The challenge will be open until January 28th @ 9 AM EST!

Rupert is adorable, and all the details you added make for one fabulous card! I love everything about this card; those tiny die cut on the balloons are amazing! I can't imagine getting them on so neatly. What a great way to combine products from so many places.
ReplyDeleteRupert is adorable and reminds me of Pete's Dragon! Love how you've gone to the trouble of attaching those fiddly die cuts to your balloons. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Carol, a fun card and got me singing the words to Puff the Magic Dragon, Rupert looks stunning in green and copper. Have a wonderful week... Megan
ReplyDeleteThose free shipping if you spend a certain amount sure tug at us, don't they?!! But in this case, you were the winner as Rupert is absolutely delightful Carol, and has totally made me smile! He works beautifully for a slimline card and the color combo just couldn't have been any more perfect for him!! Sweet, sweet card my friend! Hugs. :0)
