I've been babysitting two of my Granddaughters this morning... so am just able to try today's colour challenge... I stamped my image using bleach onto Close to Cocoa - the bleached colour is similar to barely banana - so that is the second colour for my card. My card is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2. I stamped a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece each of close to cocoa and barely banana with the Sanded Bg in CC. Next I cut each square into 4 triangles. I used two triangles of each colour to make my background design. Sewed pieces onto base card. I over-stamped flower image with the sanded bg and stamped on the sentiment. Matted image with BB, sponged and sewed edges. Used my crop o dile to attached the SU large eyelet, tied on the ribbon. Attached the brads under the sentiment. Popped up image.

Great card! So many fun details... I love the stitching and the layout and the Sanded overstamping (that's one of my favorite BG stamps, for sure), and just the whole thing! Thanks for playing!

Oh, this is wonderful Patricia!! Love the bleached flowers and the sanded b/g stamp (I have that one and always forget about how good it looks, thanks for the reminder!) I am glad you put what colours you used because on my screen your cocoa looks like plum, lol! Your card is fabulous!
