Welcome all! I decided to participate in a brand new challenge at TGIF. The design team at TGIF is amazingly talented and I have quietly followed many of their blogs for some time now. My very best wishes to them for great success on this new endeavor.
This week is a color challenge and I immediately fell in love with the color combination even though I don't think I would have thought to pair these three together. Take a look at the inspiration projects from the design team as well as the challenge participants and I suspect you will fall in love with this color combo as well. Here are the challenge colors:
And here is my interpretation of those colors:
I used the Stampin Up Nature's Perfection set to create my card. I stamped the wild flower stem in crushed curry on a piece of whisper white and matted it on pool party card stock. I embossed the large flower image on crushed curry twice with calypso coral embossing powder and lightly water colored a little calypso coral for added dimension. I fussy cut and layered the images with dimensionals. I also embossed the sentiment from Stampin Up A Dozen Thoughts in calypso coral and ran through my big shot with the Project Life framelits. I also layered this on a scrap of pool party. I hope you enjoyed my card and I wish you a fabulous day!
Happy Stamping,
Dana
