Ok, before I get thrown out by the Challenge Police, I do not know how that blue got in there. You know when you know what the colors are, and then you go work on something, and then two hours later, something happens and you don't know how? Well, maybe I can consider the watercolored blue my neutral for today.....sheesh.
Anyway, the intent was to do the three colors for CC565, and then I got going and just forgot what I was doing. I was thinking, "Oh what fun it would be if I had some really cool contrast for the flower...."
I cut the black flower from the Rose Garden Thinlits die set four times. Once in black, and three more times from a gelli print I had made with orange and red paints (don't read the "orange" part...that color isn't in there either...). All of the inner pieces were in a pile, and I decided to randomly just make a puzzle and put them back in. Using the three different cuts made for different inner piece coloring, and that was kinda cool.
The sentiment is stamped in Archival Black on vellum, then embossed with Black Detail EP. I added some of my favorite DP (it has the most wonderful black and white papers - on this one the black is shiny and embossed) down the side for interest. Reminds me of a piano keyboard that way!
Thanks for taking a peek!

Weren't the colours black and blue, and red all over? :-) Your stunning flower is gorgeous against that blue! ...and I thought piano keys as soon as I saw the thumbnail! Lovely card!
