To help with the design of this card, I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the color challenge at Colour Me Beautiful. Unfortunately, this is the last color challenge from that site. While I haven't been able to play each week, I've really enjoyed the times I have played. It's pushed me out of my comfort zone to use more than 2-3 colors per card. So thanks, girls, for challenging me to try something different.
This card uses all five colors although you may be hard-pressed to see where. I brayered the EF with Crumb Cake ink before running it though with Sahara Sand cardstock. IRL it gives a bit more depth to the layer. The roses are stamped using Primrose Petals stamped off, then Rose Red full strength. The leaves are using Sahara Sand which has just enough of a green tinge to avoid looking completely weird!
Thanks for looking.
Products used (all Stampin' Up!):
Stamps: Stippled Blossoms; Petite Pairs
Cardstock: Sahara Sand; Very Vanilla; Subtles DSP; 2012-14 In Color DSP
Ink: Primrose Petals; Rose Red; Crumb Cake; Sahara Sand
Accessories: Lacy Brocade EF; Basic Pearls; Window Frame Framelits; Brayer
Cheers
