Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Orchid Opulence, Cameo Coral and So Saffron....
I've caught Markie's cold and am REALLY taking MAJOR meds...So...When I saw my LEAST FAVORITE color on this list of colors I sighed...Speedy the Cat HISSED...Probably at my sighing, but you never know! LOL!
Since I couldn't wrap my head around this color combo, I decided to go with my old stand by, Ink, Spray and Smash! It's always a life saver for color challenges...LOL!
Here's the short version: take 2 pieces of glossy card stock and drip re-inkers onto one. Spray both glossy sheets with water and smash together. Pull apart and let dry... That's how I got this back ground. I used So Saffron, Cameo Coral and Orchid Opulence as the drips!
The Whisper White layers were run through a Cuttlebug embossing folder and the Cameo Coral background was stamped in VersaMark, using the SAME image that is the focal, and then embossed in white.
