Dragon fruit inspiration

Photo Details

Poster: rachelgirl014

I made this card using sketch 237 and the colors from the dragon fruit salad mini VSN challenge. The image is from the August '08 KOTM from Unity Stamps.

I embossed the image and colored with pink passion and pixie pink. I used my blender pen to make an inbetween shade too. I stamped the mini flower on some lime DP I had in my stash from Big Lots and used a Fiskars border punch. The ribbon was from the Target $1 spot.

I like the bold colours of this and the detail of edges on the green.

Fabulous colours! Love the way you used the smaller version of that stamp to make the background.

Wow! That is really stunning! I love how you colored the flowers! I'm not so good at coloring so I appreciate it when someone--like you!--does a great job...and blending colors, too!
