I was on a stamping hiatus when the pomegranate was released, so I don't have any ... so I used the recommended substitute, Rose.
This color challenge was to include: Brilliant Blue, Only Orange, and Rose Red (pomegranate preferred). If you guys don't stop with these bright colored challenges, I may have to break down and buy some orange cardstock, lol.
As it was, I attempted Zindorf's brayering - again, not even close, but I was happier with this one than previous attempts. I used the only orange ink on white c/s ... at the end, used a smidge of the rose at the very top to make it bit darker.
Image was stamped in orange on white & cut out. I stamped the sentiment in orange and punched with oval punch. I sponged the edges of both the butterfly and the sentiment in some rose red. Sentiment was matted on scalloped oval punched from the rose c/s. I matted this onto orange panel then rose mat then white mat then added 4 heart brads. Card base is Brilliant blue with rose DP, around which I tied a rose grosgrain ribbon.
Thanks a bunch for looking - what do you think?
