This is for two challenges. First this is for TPT and will be going to Dorothea the mother of Kathleen Lammie. I hope the cards she receives gives her spirits a lift.
The second challenge is the Color Challenge. I love these colors. Navy, Pacific and Sand.
My base is Sand then Pacific ran through a CB ef. I sponged the edges in Pacific. Then I stamped my Verve stamp onto Sand using Navy. Sponged the edges with it in the die. I made my flowers using the same colors and a MS punch. My leaves are also a MS punch. I wanted to stay true to the challenge so my leaves are done in Sand also. I used some liquid pearls for the centers. Added just a little bit of bling with the rhinestones.
Thanks for the challenges ladies!
Thanks for looking and I hope you like my card.
