Hello Honey

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  This month we are featuring the In Colors that will be retiring soon.  Today’s color is HELLO HONEY!

It took a little time to figure out what I wanted to do, HELLO HONEY is a color that I use, but not a lot.  So I thought maybe a floral card would be the way to go.  Here's what I ended up with.

Since I haven't done a whole lot with PICTURE PREFECT I figured it was the perfect set to work with.  The flowers are just incredible with the three layers.

The flowers were done with the first two layers in Hello Honey and the final layer with Delightful Dijon.  I originally tried to do all the layers with Hello Honey, but the final layer needed more depth.  The leaves are done with Pear Pizzaz and Mossy Meadow.  I love how realistic it all looks!

To give a little more texture and depth, I used watercolor paper for my card front.  That being said, I heat embossed the sentiment to make it stand out.  I also added gold thread and a few gold sequins as the finishing touch.  I think these flowers really turned out beautiful in Hello Honey and I look forward to giving more colors a try in the future!  To make your own Picture Perfect card featuring Hello Honey, check the supply list below.
