This is for the CC321 to use black, cherry cobler, crumb cake and a neutral. I substituted cherry cobler with real red and crumb cake with creamy carame because I don't have those new colors. I wanted to create something that would be striking with the red and black. There seemed to be a kink thrown in with the crumb cake color. I decided to use it as an foliage embellishment for the red flower and the black frond foliage. I couldn't resist adding three little black flowers on the red embossed frame layer to be opposite of the all red flowers. I added a touch of black stickles in each flower center for sparkle but it doesn't show in the photo. Black foliage certainly isn't the norm but I love the contrast between the red, white and black. Oh...and jdmommy....I thought of you while I made this one. The sentiment is from the Rubbernecker set Butterflies Are Free set. I thought the swirls in the font was a perfect match for the swirl in the embossed frame. Check out my paper flower tutorial on my blog if you would like to know how I made my flowers. http://kittiekraft.typepad.com/kitti...-tutorial.html

Wow Kittie, Beautiful flower and frond arrangement. Who would have thought to use black leaves and flowers and esp. Creamy Caramel Fronds. Aren't CC just great for making us work outside our comfort zone? TFS Into my fav's
