This is my 2nd 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 Barbara'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)!!
On this card I inked the flowers in picked raspberry and wild honey distress inks and tempting turquoise dye ink and then spritzed with water before stamping. Hence my faux watercoloring.
Again to get the green for the leaves, I laid down wild honey and tumbled glass distress inks on my craft mat and spritzed with water. Each time I did this technique I got a different shade of green.
The sentiment is from the "all about everything" stamp set. My large flower is from the Stampin'-Up "flower patch" set. I used the matching punch to punch it out. Completed this card with some melon mambo enamel dots.
The background dsp is from the Stampin'-Up "perfectly artistic" collection". The angled panel dsp is from the Stampin'-Up "gingham garden" 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 so pretty card with that new stamp set. Love the way you combined ink colors. It's interesting that you used the same stamp set and layout on your two cards, and yet they look so different. You are so creative!

Beautiful. I like the tilted panels and the papers you used. The flowers are so cute in the challenge colors. Nicely done! Both your cards are great. Hard to pick a favorite. TFS

I just love this charming creation! Your "faux watercoloring" is one of my favorite techniques and looks great. Wonderful combination of papers and cute sentiment. I
