I've entered two challenges with the card I'm sharing today.
Here is a link to the sketch by Jen Schults for Taylored Expressions #157 and the second challenge is a color challenge for Play Date Cafe #129
Dusk, Magenta & Seedlings
And here is my card:
I really struggled with the three colors, but while I was at work today I picked up a piece of "dusk" Bazzill card stock for the base. If I had waited until morning to take the photo it would probably turn out much better but I need to be to work by 9a.m. and there is no way I can get a good shot taken, cropped and get it uploaded before I need to leave the house! By the time I get home in the evening the PDC Challenge would be closed! So I apologize for the dark and shadowy picture. It is what it is!
The designer paper is called Playground by Echo Park. The pieces used for the banners needed a color enhancement so I took my Copic Marker RV17 Deep Magenta and "enhanced" away. The stamp set is Taylored Expressions "Garden Party Blooms" and I also used the coordinating die to cut the flower. It was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the leaves were colored with Copic G43 (Pistachio), a button and ribbon from my stash was added to embellish. I used the Spellbinder Circle Die to frame out the flower and the paper is a piece of leftover manila folder from a mini scrapbook I'm making for my great niece. The finished card is A2. Well, it is late and I already hear the hubs snoring so I'd best be getting myself tucked into my cozy bed. Have an excellent day and thanks for visiting!

This is a very beautiful card Natalie! I still can't figure out that sponging thing inside the Nesties. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely! That flower just jumps right off the card in the best way...and these colors and patterns make it all pop!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty. I love the colors and would never have thought to use them together. Great sketch too. Beautiful flower.
