This is my sample for CC584. Maura is our hostess and she chose watermelon wonder, crushed curry and pumpkin pie for her color trio. Dessert is to use your favorite shade of green. I chose old olive although not necessarily my fave. I think it's a good color for leaves.
For my card this week, I decided I wanted to do some coloring of flowers. So I chose the Verve set "be blessed" because I like the flower images and I could color them. For the coloring I used the Stampin'-Up pumpkin pie Blendabilities, and also the Copic markers of R24 & R27. I thought they were a good match for the watermelon wonder.
I used the Verve "petal points" die to cut the flowers and I popped them up with some dimensionals. The background dsp is from the Stampin'-Up "color me irresistible" collection. I like the black backdrop to showcase my flowers. Remember, you can use neutrals in your design besides the challenge colors.
The leaves are cut from the CottageCutz leaves & stems die. My butterfly is also a CottageCutz "fancy pocket plus" die set.
Cut my center strip in crushed curry with an MFT die. The sentiment is from the same Verve set and I used the MFT flag stax dies to cut the flag. I am spreading the love around this week with the different dies and companies (lol).
Hope you can play along with us this week. Check out the other DT samples for more inspiration.
