I'm popping in to share a card I did for today's color challenge over on Splitcoaststampers
Karen originally chose these colors with "the last rose of summer" as dessert. I was surprised at how challenging I found them!
I got to work on a tag idea I had with, struggling to get the look I was going for. Then I received a new box of Stampin' Up! toys and decided to let Autumn Greetings solve my challenge problem (I was out of lace so what did I do but order an extra bundle to go with it!) I did end up using one of the blended and then collage type pieces as the border in this card.
- You can see some of my earlier experiments in the background.
- What do you think those two big flowers are supposed to be? Roses or Flowering Kale???
- The border is part of the bundle - I have such a soft spot for borders!
- The greeting is fussy cut.
- I used the Light Rococo Rose Blends marker on the pearls - maybe I should have used the dark one though.
By the time I got done adding a few neutrals - on both the border piece and the bouquet, I had these colors:(!) Stampin' Up! Neutrals - or other colors that are close - are all allowed in this challenge.
