Well, time has a way of sneaking around and we find ourselves back at Thursday, which means it's Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge time! This week is a color challenge....
This sketch is loosely based on Mojo Monday 408.
These colors are very similar to the one's I used on last weeks card, but boy are they pretty! I'm LOVING the {Best Thoughts} hydrangea flower....isn't it gorgeous! First I embossed the flower with black embossing powder and then I colored it with a blender pen and ink pads. Next, I fussy cut the whole thing out. I needed to incorporate the Sahara Sand some how and tried a few different DSP's, but nothing seemed to work. I wound up making my own background using the resist technique. I stamped {Dotty Angles}on white cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I then sponged the whole piece with Sahara Sand ink. I like the Bokeh effect it gives.
I added in the fabulous black DSP to enhance the black embossing on the flower. The ruffled lace ribbon adds a frilly feel. Lastly, I added a banner sentiment across the stem of the flower and accented it with a gold button with linen thread behind it.
I also dotted the flower's stamen with my white gel pen.
Be sure to hop on over to the CCMC blog and take a gander at all the other lovely creations made with this nice trio of colors!
Thanks for taking a peek and have a blessed day!
