March 2023 Color Challenge

Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop and March 2023 Color Challenge!

If you’ve already started the blog hop you should be coming from the talented Janneke Dijkstra de Jong’s blog post. If you’ve just joined in, make sure to do the full hop and see all the wonderful projects created by the Color Fusers Design team! The color scheme for the March 2023 Color Challenge is Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, and Soft Sea Foam.

Today’s project features the Irresistible Blooms Bundle which is a NEW Online Exclusive product. You will not find these products in any paper catalog!

Check out the March 2023 Color Challenge & Color Fusers Blog Hop! The color combination today is Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron & Soft Sea Foam.

These gorgeous floral images and foliage are heat embossed in black onto watercolor paper and then die-cut! I then used a water painter to watercolor the flowers in Blushing Bride ink and the foliage in Soft Sea Foam.

The sentiment is stamped with Jet Black StazOn ink. I punched the ends of the Blushing Bride and Soft Sea Foam layers with the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. This is my go-to punch these days! I absolutely love the subtle edge it creates and there are two shapes to pick from too. (I only used one of them here.)

My favorite die-cut in the Irresistible Blooms set of dies is the shape you see on this card along the left side. There is just something about the linear shapes with the various sizes of circles that I find to be so pleasing. It has a randomness to it and yet it also looks orderly as well. I just LOVE IT!

I am a seeker of that crazy, excited feeling that comes when you've created something that’s unique, beautiful and expresses who you are in some small way. It’s like making a new discovery, when you find a unique combination of color, layout, dimension and texture. I call it a creative spark and it makes me giddy! Through sharing and teaching I hope to help others find this amazing feeling of creative bliss!
