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 :-)

This is stunning! This beautiful flowre is perfect for these colors! I love the ink distressing on the main image panel and the flower part being popped up. The gingham ribbon is perfect here and I love the subtle textured look of the bg.

Beautiful. Very impressive the way you incorporated so many challenges in one card. But mostly, your card itself is impressive, understated and elegant.

Truly beautiful. Love what you did with the image. It is so precisely layered. Paper piercing is such a great touch and really draws your eye in to the image.

very very pretty! I particularly like how the flower panel is off-set over the lower layer, not centered on it. I'm putting this into my favs to remind me that I don't have to center *all* of my layers! TFS!

Do you know if there's a 12-step program for stamping? No, seriously, is there??
