Today's Free for All challenge is called "Double Triple" - used 3 colours and 3 elements that add interest to your card. I chose green, yellow, and orange for my colours, and an embossed border, gemstones, and die cut tulips for my elements.
The coloured panel behind the tulips is done with a shadow stamp, inked up with three shades of ink, then spritzed, stamped, and cut out. The tulips were die cut in white cs, then coloured with green, yellow, and orange markers, with a bit of Wink of Stella over the flowers. The tulip stems are glued down but the flowers are popped up with dimensionals. My vertical sentiment was perfect for the layout, and I scattered different colours of gemstones about the card.
It's also for Loll Thompson's Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge to use any form of embossing you want - this one uses a dry embossed border.
