Whoo Hoo.......I got to use 3 of the new SU "In Colors" CS and inks and SU's new scallop punch for this very Rich looking card. I also used Julee Tilman's MoJo45 monday sketch challenge from last week.
Don't you just love the Richness of the Tangerine Tango, Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss together? The Tangerine compare's (I think) to a less bright Only Orange, the Riding Hood Red to a less orange Ruby Red and the Kiwi Kiss to a lighter and softer O Olive. I had a lot of fun adding a lot of texture and distressing. The rose buds and dimensional vase were brushed with 2 layers of Crystal Effects.
Enjoy and if you are not a Demo the In Colors will be available to you on Aug. 11th :-)

What beautiful colors! This is a wonderfully put-together card with the cuttlebug background, distressing, brads, ribbon, etc. And the watercolored vase and flowers inspires me to try watercoloring (not to mention leslierich's weekly coloring lessons!).

Wonderful card, Nancy! I love the look of the new colors in this combination. The sewing, embossing, distressing and dimension of the vase of flowers are all so pretty! I love Julee's sketches, too!
