Hi everyone. I really appreciate all of you who wished me a speedy recovery - thanks so much!! :) Am feeling good today and hope that this nasty virus is finally on it's way.
I made a card for the SCS Color Challenge (#488 - pick three or more colors from this list: blushing bride, daffodil delight, island indigo, lost lagoon, mossy meadow, pistachio pudding, strawberry slush) - dessert is to make it a summer card. I decided to sponge a summer sunset - love this color combo. I used distress inks that are my closest in color (mustard seed, tattered rose, worn lipstick). I then misted it with water to give it some visual texture. I didn't want to cover up the gorgeous colors, so used vellum for my leafy die-cut. I stamped the sentiment on a cut-off from resizing my main panel.
This is also for the Fusion Challenge (July 17 - French Cupcakes) ... I thought the colors were the same as the flowers on the cupcakes.
Super simple, easy, quick ... but really pretty - I'm happy! :) Hope you like it too.
