My CC171/FS72/TLC174 challenge card. I would never use this color combo as Kraft is one of my last choices for CS, but love how my card turned out using Kraft, B Black and S Sky. Also I knew I just had to play this weeks Featured Stamper Challenge.....featuring one of my very favorite stampers and SCS friends....Diane...Lost in the 60's :-) I chose Diane's most recent upload as I love them all. Diane, I think your layout and colors were perfect for my combined challenge card, don't you?!?
I changed the stamps and added some of my own embellishments, but stayed very much with Diane's design. I did add sponging to soften the look. Used reinkers to watercolor my flower image.
Thanks Emily for the CC and Beth for choosing Diane as the FS :-)

Absolutely stunning! No wonder Denny approved. Love the piercing, the sponging (for both depth and softness) and the way you have placed the image over the ribbon. Like the way you popped the flower head. TFS--one of my favorites from you.

Nancy, this is so pretty- I love the Soft Sky layer- it's so peaceful and soothing. Your piercing is terrific- I just can't do it well at all. Thanks so much for playing- it means a lot to me.
