Hi everybody,
I was so glad to see Makeesha’s Inkspiration color challenge on her blog. This is the first challenge for this year.Here are the colors for the challenge
Mmmmm!, these are colors I will use in different combinations. I like to use So Saffron, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla together. Similarly, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and Cameo Coral together. It was a challenge for me to use So Saffron and Cameo Coral together with Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. A lot of thought went into it. But then, I took out the cardstocks and laid it on the table and I felt it was not so bad as I had thought! So this is what I came up with. I am pretty happy with it.
The flowers I made using some old music sheets I had in my stash. I punch some scalloped circles out of them, inked the edges, adhered 6 layers (for one flower) using a brad, scrunched each layer except the last one. I then opened the layers and added a button in the centre. Dawn Mcvey has a tutorial on her blog. Aren’t the flowers beautiful? I love them.
Petal Pizzaz was my first stamp set I bought with the starter kit. I haven’t used them in a long time. Time had come to pull the set out and I used the leaf from the set for this card. The leaves are heat embossed with clear embossing powder on chocolate chip ink. Felt a bit weird stamping chocolate chip color leaves. But it looks nice on the card.Sentiment is from Sweet Little Sentiment hostess set.
Thanks for the color challenge. I enjoyed making this card.
Have a great weekend

Nice design and use of the colours.
You've done a beautiful job with making the flowers and making your card. I hesitated a bit too about the leaves in my card but in the end I coloured them with the chosen colours and I love it. I would never have done it otherwise, which is why challenges like this are so great.
Your flowers are Beautiful. Great job with the challenge this week. Thanks so much for playing.
