Color Hues Challenge #115 - Pink and Grey - Cat Silhouette Hello Friend (Waffle Flower)

Hello,

Welcome to a  new month - can you believe it's August 1st already - and a new challenge at Colour Hues. For the next two weeks, I invite you to use hues of PINK and GREY as inspiration. This combination covers a range of shades (from bold and bright to soft and whispery), images (flowers, birds and animals, abstract patterns, to name just a few) and occasions (birthdays, 'just because', seasonal greetings and so much more). I'm sure you'll find an abundance of ways to feature pink and grey on your cards/projects.

Remember you can use any hues of these two colors and neutrals are also welcome.

We're delighted to have Arlene, a previous winner, joining us as our guest designer. 

Even though I’m 100% a dog person (my mini schnauzer, Lily, is my heart!), I couldn’t resist the charming feline release from Waffle Flower a couple months ago. Today marks the debut of my new goodies — inspired by the talented Waffle Flower design team samples.

The background features a stenciled 'cat quilt' pattern, which was a breeze to create and adds just the right cozy touch. I paired it with a fluffy die-cut cat silhouette. And how could I resist the delightful little add-on details? The wind-up mouse, ball of yarn and whimsically “decorated” food dish are just too cute not to include.

So while dogs - or more specifically, Lily - still rule my world, these cats definitely captured my crafty heart — at least for today!


Please head over to the main blog to see the fabulous cards created by Arlene, our guest, and the rest of my talented team.
Looking forward to seeing how Pink and Grey will inspire you. 

The challenge will be open until August 14 @ 9:00am (EST).

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.


Thank you for dropping by!

My mini schnauzer Max was my heart too, Carol! But when I was a little girl I did have a gray cat named Pepper! Your lovely card brings back found memories of him!

Oh, I love that cozy cat quilt in the background and that sweet kitty looks ready to curl up with it!

Oh my...I am absolutely in LOVE with this sweet, sweet card Carol! You know that I am a big WF fan too, but being a dog person myself, and seeing the cat offerings a couple months ago, I decided to pass. Now I'm thinking I made a mistake! That background is ADORABLE and the food dish, wind up mouse & yarn ball are all the perfect add ons for this sweet, sweet scene! Thanks for such a wonderful color pairing to work with and this awesome card to drool over!! Hugs. :0)
