For the card base, I used Wisteria Wonder. Under the layer of Whisper White I added a hint of Elegant Eggplant. The Whisper White is stamped using the flowers from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar stamp set. I used Calypso Coral and stamped off one time to give it a lighter look. The sentiment is from the Simply Sketched stamp set and I stamped it with a full load of Calypso Coral so it would stand out more. I added a layer of Elegant Eggplant and attached the flower using a Dimensional. The flowers were punched using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack flower, the Petite Petals Punch and the Pansy Punch. I love how the Wisteria Wonder and Calypso Coral look together and the way the flower pops against the dark background. The center of the flower is a 1/8" Mini Silver Brad. For the finishing touch, I added several Pearl Basic Jewels.
The sketch I used is from the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge.
The colors I used are from the Just Us Girls Challenge.
Thanks for stopping in at the Coffee Post Stamping Cafe,

Oh heck...just call the elegant eggplant a neutral and you're good right? lol
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Miss Marsha. Super job on the sketch and the color challenges. You always put in such nice touches that add a nice dimensional touch to the design.
Thanks, Jean. Since Elegant Eggplant is a go to color for me, it might as well be a neutral.
