Hello there stampers! Today's card was created for a friend's wedding and includes both The Paper Players Color Challenge #711, Inspired By Challenge #306, and The Flower Challenge #96 add a stencil.
I used the Layers of Beauty bundle once again on this card. First, I stamped the flower image in Early Espresso ink. Next, I used my blending brushes and the first mask layer and bushed on Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie ink. It gives a richer, yellow/orangish golden color. On the second masking layer, I used Cajun Craze. For the third detail mask, I used Copper Clay. I used Crumb Cake on leaves, using a light touch on the 1st layer and and heavier ink on the 2nd.
After all the flowers were colored I lightly brushed the whole thing with Crumb Cake ink, so the white wasn't so stark. I then cut the flower image out with the matching die cut.
For the background of the card, I embossed a piece of Copper Clay CS with my Distressed Tile embossing folder. I added a small piece of cork specialty paper to the bottom to add some extra texture. The cork specialty paper is retired.
I cut several leaves from the Changing Leaves die/emboss bundle in Pecan Pie and Copper Clay CS. I also grabbed a few Woven Golden Leaves embellishments and tucked all the leaves behind the floral image. I finished the card off with a sentiment from a retired set stamped on a couple of the labels from the Changing Leaves die set. I added a satin gold ribbon to hold the cute little Mr. and Mrs. tag and lastly, I sprinkled a few adhesive backed gold sequins around the card to tie the gold ribbon and gold leaves.

ReplyDeleteJenny...love your use of oranges and browns. Crazy that these colors worked so well for a wedding card...just loving it! Thanks for sharing your creativity with The Paper Player this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the richness and depth of the colours. Brushing lightly with Crumb Cake was a great idea to take the starkness from the edges of the die cut. Thank you for sharing this with us at The Paper Players.
