When I saw today's color challenge colors (Whisper White, Crumb Cake and Calypso Coral) I knew this would be a real challenge for me as I'm not a big fan of orange tones. I decided to CASE another card from featured stamper Loll Thompson Spring Flower Box - WT360 by Loll Thompson at Splitcoaststampers. I love the pretty colors on her window box and wish mine looked half as good! I didn't go for the dessert of a one layer card.
I don't have a window box die, so I scored and cut my own in Crumb Cake and sponged with the same over the score lines and edges. I used a marker for the Crumb Cake stems and Calypso Coral for the flowers and stamped my flowers after masking the edged of the cs. I thought it was a bit flat, so I added the striped embossing to imitate siding.I decided to stamp my sentiment onto the box and then thought the card needed something up in the corner so I added some Baker's twine that came from a fellow splitcoaster who shared some when she bought a bunch. I took 4strands and tied a knot then adhered it on the diagonal.
