I found several cards in Becky's gallery that I'd like to CASE, but I started with this one: Pine and Roses / BTE by BeckyTE at Splitcoaststampers
I liked the warm colors in it. I decided to just change it by using all current SU stamps, so here's my version. I wish I had some Mellow Moss or even Always Artichoke ribbon to go on this, I think I would have liked that better than the Pumpkin Pie ribbon.
I love how the main image turned out I inked up the big flower with Apricot Appeal ink and then colored in the tips of the petals with a Pumpkin Pie marker. When I stamped it, it wasn't quite bold enough for what I was going for, so I colored over the tips on the image again with Pumpkin Pie, and then I used an Apricot Appeal marker to blend it in to the stamped part of the image a little bit. Stamped a few little background flowers and whozits in Pumpkin Pie and Mellow Moss, and then I stamped Sanded over the whole thing with Mellow Moss ink (hard to see in the pic). The card front is Apricot Appeal with Paisley stamped on it in Mellow Moss ink, it was kind of an interesting combination and not as florid as Pumpkin Pie ink would have been on here. The sentiment was stamped in Always Artichoke so it would still be readable with all the bold colors on here
