What fun colors for today's Color Challenge! I don't actually have these colors, but I had a crumb cake clone that was almost identical so I used it for my bg. The coral & cantaloupe I had to try to achieve using the 3 colors of dye ink. And I have dessert! The stars & greeting are all emboss resist.
The crumb cake bg was white embossed w/ all the different stars. I also white embossed the stars and greeting onto white c/s then die cut them. Let me tell you, lining up a die is hard enough but lining up one that is on a white embossed on white is ridiculous! My eyesight just isn't that good anymore, lol. But I persevered! I left the dies in place and sponged on the 3 different pink/coral/orange inks then attached them to my bg.
Then I had an idea as I was looking at a reject (1st try of the greeting wasn't straight) to die cut a star, sponge it then place it on top of the base greeting. I kind of like it!
Thanks so much for looking! It's just been posted on my blog after dinner. The Write Stuff

Lovely card with your patterned stars...some embossed with white, some layered and one melding right into your sentiment panel. Beautiful creation, Julie.

Beautiful card Julie- I really like how you added the star to the sentiment panel- have to remember to try something like that when I stamp and it's not straight- color subs are right on
