Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Burgandy, Vanilla (Ivory), and Kraft (I used Desert Sand).
I have to admit that I almost sat this color challenge out. However, I remembered that I had some burgandy like dp, and could MAKE my own burgandy ink to sponge the image.
First, I wanted to "darken" the dp to make it closer to burgandy. I sponged Burnt Umber Palette ink all over the dp. This really made it darker. I sponged Cognac onto the striped dp to darken it.
The image was stamped in VersaMark and embossed in Copper. Next, I mad a MASK of the center and placed it over the berries. I sponged on Palette Claret for a red/burgandy/purple and then sponged in Burnt Umber and Cognac for a darker center. This really "looks" like burgandy.
