The flowers are stamped in Memento Toffee Crunch and then sponged using matching stencils, although I only used three out of the five layering stencils, opting to add the shading myself instead of using their two shading stencils. I used distress inks (Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint) to colour the flowers and leaves, then added a simple sentiment and the little scalloped frame cut from kraft paper. The panel is popped up for added dimension.

I'm sending this card to the following challenges:
1) Darnell's IDEAS Challenge - Week 2 - Dies challenge. Thanks for the inspiration!
3) Color Hues #111 - Coral and Green - used shades of coral and green for the flower and leaves. Light brown is my neutral.
3) Die-cut Divas - June - Colour Challenge - use three of the colours + die-cut. I've used light brown, light coral, dark coral, green from the colour palette and die-cut frame. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh My......Simply Beautiful CAS Birthday Card, Dear Friend:-) I Love your choice of colors and so will your friend :-) Love and Hugs :-) Miss You:-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty frame Loll, perfect for that coral coloured blossom. I like that you used the Toffee Crunch to stamp first, it blends perfectly with the coral and is much subtler than black would have been. Thanks for linking up at Color Hues too. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful Loll! The sweet flowers are framed perfectly with that dainty little frame. The kraft was a great choice to go with the color of flowers as well. Beautifully CAS!
