Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: So Saffron, Close To Cocoa and Bashful Blue.
Well, I have to admit, So Saffron is my LEAST favorite color by SU! And, it's not for the reason you may think....When I was a brand new demo, my first and BIGGEST mistake was when I ordered 22 packs of So Saffron instead of 2 packs! Well, you know, EVERY stamp camp, workshop, and school project for over 6 months had So Saffron front and center! LOL!
The flowers are Spellbinders Shapabillities. I cut them out in white and used my Copic airbrush to color them in. They are a perfect match to So Saffron. (I had to layer 3 yellows to achieve that color.) The centers were done with 3 browns. The top leaves are a Sizzix die. The backgrounds were run through a Cuttlebug Embossing folder.

Oh Faith, this is so pretty. I just don't remember seeing this much white on any of your cards. Amazing. I love your so safron flowers. So funny about the 22 packs! I have done some crazy things like that too so I can so relate here. Great card. Love it! TFS :0)

So Saffron is one of my faves - but I better be careful what I wish for! 22 packs is a bit much . . . Could have been worse I guess, 22 of a stamp set! Love your happy florals today , Faith. The mattework is gorgeous too!
