Hello and Welcome!
It's been a hot minute since I've posted, I apologize, but life has gotten busier around here. Sometimes I wonder if it's gotten busier or I've just gotten older and slower! Either way, I'm glad you stopped by!
Today's card all started from the Color Hues #131 - Coral and Green. I wanted to use another product that been has neglected, so today it has. The first step was hot foiling, then Copic coloring, a selective "haircut", and an embossed panel. Finally, I cut a few NBUS tiny butterflies, secured them from their mid-section and lifted their wings, so it'll be entered over at NBUS #85. It took me so long to get this completed, that a new sketch challenge worked perfectly. So this particular card will go to FMS #733.
After finishing this card, I realized a had a previous panel colored with the same colors from Color Hues #131, so I challenged myself to get it done before that challenge goes away! Again, I used an embossed panel behind, strategically cut the flowers with a die and popped up the center with two additional layers. I had the foiled sentiment already in my stash, so this one was also QACAS, after adding the gems.
Supplies:
Card #1 - Splb Leafy 3d e/f, More Sentiments hfp; LDRS Breezy Blossoms pp; Ps Bunches of Butterflies (NBUS)
Card #2 - Splb Leafy 3d e/f, Altenew Sisters of the Heart stamp/stencils; You Are Everything sentiment pp; PFS clear Gold Dust gems
Well I must get with the post so I can get these added to the challenges. Thanks so much for your visits and wonderful sentiments!
Hugs,
TK

I love your tone-on-tone background with the beautiful embossing folder. Your floral is also beautiful with the wonderful framing! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
Good to see you TK and your two lovely cards. You've brought that coral and green out in such a lovely way. Your first card is sweet.
These are both so pretty TK! I love the foiling on the first one, and the sketch layout worked so perfectly for the images...just beautiful! Your 2nd card is just as lovely and I'm loving the bold coral color background that really makes your bloom POP! Thanks so much for sharing both of these beauties with us at the Color Hues Challenge!! Hugs. :0)
Two beautiful cards and the colors are gorgeous! Lovely embossing folder to go with both as well..
Your FMS card really glows with the foil, TK, and the little butterflies were a great addition. I love the frame around the flowers for the other card and how beautifully you colored them. Glad to have you back crafting again.
Very pretty cards! Loved the gold foiled sentiments too
I hope you're busy with good stuff, TK! Retirement time fills up really fast! Your foiling is amazing and so are your pretty flowers! And you know how much I love embossed backgrounds. Thanks so much for sharing these with us at Color Hues!
Great job capturing that gorgeous foiling, my friend! Those florals are so wonderful the butterflies could not resist them!
I love your second helpings, too - what a lovely coral color that is!

Love both of your cards, TK. The one you made for Color Hues is so nice. Great EF background and beautifully colored floral. Thanks for playing along.
Two wonderful cards and I love these pretty colors. So glad you joined my sketch this week at FMS!
Gorgeous cards! The shine on the foiling looks fabulous! Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
Good to see you, TK! There is no explaining time anymore. I guess we just have to roll with it! You did a great job getting these beautiful card designs made to rock the challenges! Your camera/phone did a fantastic job capturing the coral color in the pretty second card! Hugs, Darnell (thanks for using and linking more NBUS!)
Beautiful cards using the challenge colours, TK. Wonderful colouring on both, and love the shine of the foiling from the first card, and the lovely texture and dimension from the dry embossing on the second card. :) xx
Love the EF you've used for your coral background looks fab, it's the perfect foil for your prtty blooms. So pleased you were inspired by the Color Hues colours. :)
What a lovely set of cards, TK! Beautiful use of the CH colors. Hope life slows down (or you speed up) for you.
