A warm welcome to September and, with it, a new colour combination for Colour Hues Challenge #94, where I've selected hues of Rust and Green as inspiration for the next two weeks. Warm, earthy, rustic, metallic, Rust offers much versatility. Pair it with different shades of green and you have a combination that is utterly beautiful. Little wonder we see this duo featured in weddings, home decor, fabrics and so much more. Even Mother Nature loves this combination, bringing it to us in a variety of flowers and plants.
For fabulous Rust and Green card inspiration, look no further than the wonderful creations by our guest designer, Colleen, and my oh-so-talented teammates.
I'm smitten with the Bouquet of Poppies collection from Altenew and, after some internet sleuthing, found inspiration to use it - yet again - from a rust + green poppies fabric. The poppies are blended with a combination of Rusty Hinge distress ink and Terra Cotta ink from Pigment Craft Co. The leaves also feature a Pigment Craft Co. ink: Fiscus. The panel dies are from Studio Katia; the frame, cut using one of the collection's oval dies, is a burnished gold. Final touch: a sentiment from Taylored Expressions.
The challenge will be open until September 14th @ 9:00am (EDT)
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.
Looking forward to seeing your Rust and Green creations in the gallery.
Thank you for dropping by!
