This was inspired by a photo I saw in Vogue a few months ago. A linen-like clothing ensemble had colors close to Red Riding Hood, Tangerine Tango, Pretty in Pink, and Chocolate Chip. I think there was a flower pin. I added the Pirouette Pink as a card base and again as a base for the daisy. The Close to Cocoa button is sponged with Chocolate Chip ink. The dots and message are from the Chit Chat Rub-ons. Yes, Red Riding Hood, Tangerine Tango and Pink Pirouette are retired. I hope you have them. I pieced the three background colors together for a color-block look. Before impressing the texture I brayered Versamark ink over the Texturz plate to add a little emphasis to the texture.
This card in turn inspired a card I designed for my mom. This one uses 3 in colors from three different years. Purely Pomegranite from 2007-2008, Kiwi Kiss from 2008-2009, and a current in-color, Crushed Curry. For mailing purposes we used a paper center for the flower, punched out of textured Purely Pomegranite.
Both of these cards feature the Daisies #2 Bigz Die. The invitation greeting is from the set, Sincere Salutations which, by the way, ISN'T retired.
Thanks for stopping by!
