Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Mustard, (in the leaves), Raspberry (background papers and berries), and Breezy Blue, (background and background panel). The EXTRA challenge today was to have the card go "OUT of the card." This is a modified Tent Card.
The base of the card is 5" wide by 4 1/4" high. I made sure the finished card size was 5" square so that it would fit in a square envelope.
I don't have paper the colors that were requested, but I had Copic Markers that matched, when combined with the designer papers, LOOK like a good match. (I just used my airbrush over the Koishi papers!)
The blue background was stamped with a tree background that is a sneak peek. The bottom layer was stamped with Palette Ink's Bella Rose. It's a pretty good match!
I stamped the main image and cut around the areas that would have been cut by the Spellbinders' die and then embossed. I colored the image was Colored Pencils and OMS. Next, I colored in with a Copic to get the Raspberry color.
Finished card size: 5" square
Total time to complete: 55 minutes...(Yes, I'm slowing down. I'm really tired, but wanted to make a card today!)

Wow, what a beauty. I am learning from you, next time I am going to play down one of the colors so that I don't struggle so much with them.
