This is my 1st sample for CC583. Barbara is our hostess and she chose so saffron, tempting turquoise and melon mambo as her color palette. Dessert is water coloring. I took BarbaraÂ’s hint and mixed colors to get a green for my leaves.
I wanted to use the Stampin’-Up “all about everything” stamp set I received in my Paper Pumpkin kit in April. I thought it would look good with my faux water coloring. What is faux water coloring you ask? Just read on and I will explain (lol)!!
The 2 smaller flowers were inked with picked raspberry distress ink, spritzed with water and then I stamped. I stamped a 2nd time without reinking. For the leaves, I just mixed wild honey and tumbled glass distress inks and made a light green shade.
The larger flower is also part of this same stamp set. I stamped the image and then fussy cut it. Completed my card with the sentiment. ItÂ’s also part of the same set.
The layout is this week’s MojoMonday #448 sketch. The background dsp is from the Stampin’-Up “sweet pea” collection”.
Hope you can play along with us this week. Check out the other Design Team samples for more inspiration. They are sure to wow you with their creations.

Another beautiful one. Just a few changes and your cards look similar but remarkably different. Each has its own personality. Nicely done. Such a pretty example of the colors. TFS

Lovely layout with those tilted panels! Your stamping is fabulous; thanks so much for the detailed description! I really like that yellow panel in the background. Adds so much summery warmth! :-)
