This card was made for today's Color Challenge, A Red and Saffron Party and Yesterday's Technique Lover's Challenge, Stamp It, Mask It Sponge It and Glitter It.
I stamped the Apothecary Art image with Real Red ink onto card stock and onto copy paper. I cut out both with the Labels die and then fussy cut a mask of the edge, flowers and center strip. After I stamped the greeting, I spot glued the mask in place and sponged on the Pool Party ink. Then I added the soft yellow glitter, but it wasn't quite the right shade so I used the wooden end of paint brush to tap on a bit of bright yellow glitter to give me the right shade. I colored the leaves with a glitter pen and added a small dot of Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details in the center of each flower. I traced the outside of the labels die onto Real Red Cardstock and cut it out with scissors. I layered the main image onto the red layer and then onto a die cut So Saffron layer. I kept the rest of the card simple with an embossed center stripe, some white ribbon and a small punched flower accent.
