Hello
Welcome to Colour Hues Challenge #91, where Sheri, our hostess, invites us to use hues of Red and Green as inspiration for the next two weeks. Christmas in July certainly comes to mind, as do a variety of other themes/occasions.
On a bittersweet note, Hannelie is stepping down from the design team after this challenge, to pursue other paths on her creative journey. Thank you so much for being a wonderful inspiration over the past four years. You will be very much misses here but...we know where to find you and your fabulous CAS designs.
We are delighted to have Rosemary joining us as our Guest Designer.
A combination of companies' products came out to play for my Christmas card: Festive Bouquet, from Tim Holtz, Snowflake cover plate from Alex Syberia Designs, and a foiled sentiment from Spellbinders. Even though I've had the Festive Bouquet in my collection for quite a while, this is the first time I've made a red poinsettia with it. Need to make more!
Looking forward to seeing how Red and Green inspire you.
The challenge will remain open until July 29th at 9 AM!
The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge and the overall winner will have the opportunity to be a future Guest Designer.
