Chocolate Flowers after rain

I made a second challenge card yesterday. This challenge is for yesterday’s layout challenge, Monday’s technique challenge, which was using only brown tones and the technique challenge three weeks ago called Blurred vision.

I used Chocolate Chip cardstock as my card base. I stamped the 2 1/2″ x 5″ natural ivory cardstock with Chocolate Chip flowers and doodles from Doodle This and went over the stamping with my aqua painter to blur the lines. I sponged the edges of the cardstock to give it a softer look.

The Close to Cocoa scallop border is made with the corner punch. If you haven’t seen how that is done yet, check my tutorial here. I then added doodles with the chocolate Chip Marker.

The saying is from the Stamp set Brighter Tomorrow. It is stamped in chocolate chip on a natural ivory circle and layered on a Close to cocoa marvy scallop circle punch out. Again I sponged the edges of the natural ivory circle lightly.

I finished it off with some paper piercing (what else) and Stampin’ Up! organdy ivory and chocolate grosgrain ribbon.

Beautiful card Beate (I don’t think you can make a bad card)! I need to start doing the challenges on SCS, even if it is at night after I get the kiddos to sleep. Thanks for your inspiration!
