Jeanne is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and she has given us some beautiful pastel colors: So Saffron, Blushing Bride and Pool Party. The dessert option this week is a card for an event. I'm not sure if I get dessert or not, but I think this card is for a big event: my husband's 81st birthday! (Yes, we are old! LOL!)
I did use the exact ink colors, honest! But I did a variation of the rock-and-roll technique, and the colors tended to combine in interesting and unpredictable ways! So for example, my central heart, which was a combination of Pool Party and Blushing Bride, has some purple shades where the colors blended.
I've been itching to use my new Washi tapes, and this card seemed like a perfect opportunity for gold and white. I stamped the greeting in VersaMark ink then heat embossed in gold. Finishing touches were Nuvo Drops in the challenge colors plus gold.
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

Wow, what a totally fabulous card Barbara! It's clean, crisp and modern, and yet the sentiment brings in a great element of fun, and the inked hearts the soft colors. Happy, happy birthday to your husband!

Great event to celebrate, In France we don't say birthday but anniversary, in fact we celebrate each year the day of our birth so it's an anniversary too, and what means "old"?? you are as young as you feel...so some people are old when they're still young and some older are still young when they're getting old...I love this beautiful card I can see there's a part of yourself in it!!
