Today's post is for this weeks Still addINKtive Challenge. We have a Sketch and Colour Combination for you to use. It took me a while to decide on what to make with the colours this week, until I played with the two step flower stamp from Field Flowers and I liked how the Summer Starfruit and Tempting Turquiose looked and that is where I built my card from. I tried Crumb Cake ink for the Hello Doily stamp in the background but thought it was too dark and then decided to do a Versamark and Crumb Cake Chalk version and I love that it is so soft and pretty and not overpowering to the rest of the design. For my finishing touches I added some pearls and put some Summer Starfruit Satin Ribbon on top of some Chocolate Chip Dotted Ribbon, I just love them together.

ReplyDeleteThis card caught my eye right away. The turquoise over the yellow gives the flowers a green tint which is lovely! They remind me of the green zinnias my daughter had in her wedding arrangements. They were unique and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSuper how you two-stamped the flowers with the 2 colors you used instead of adding a customary neutral. They almost look real and the doily stamp behind them is just awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis card is just amazing in every way, Susan. A real jaw dropper. I love how the combination of the two colours on the flowers has introduced a hint of green too.
ReplyDeleteOh what a pretty color combination and design!! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteWow! Does that card ever POP. Gorgeous, and I love the doily background image and the beautiful flowers.
