Definitely a challenge
Today’s color challenge is a challenge indeed. The color combo is Tempting Turquoise, Kraft and Green Galore. I NEVER use green galore. It’s sooo bright. Well…I tried. I knew I would use a lot of Kraft and white to tone those brights down.
I started out with a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Kraft cardstock folded in half.
I stamped French Flair in Green Galore on a 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Green Galore cardstock and taped a 1″ strip of Shimmery White cardstock on the top of that.
I used the corner rounder to scallop the top of the white strip, paper pierced the bottom of it and tied Turquoise grosgrain ribbon around it. You can see I used a ribbon buckle from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Harware kit from the Occasional Mini catalog.
For the main image I inked up the flower from Live your Dream (Occasional Mini catalog) with Tempting Turquoise and Green galore and stamped it off once on scrap paper. Then I outlined the image again with the same colors and added Close to Cocoa into the flower center. I misted the image with water and stamped it on Shimmery White cardstock.
I cut the image out with my Coluzzle. Next I cut Kraft cardstock with the next bigger Coluzzle oval, added the scallops with the corner rounder and sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa cardstock.
Last I added stamped the sentiment in Close to Cocoa on Shimmery White, punched it out with the small oval punch and attached it with another piece of the Styled Silver Hardware kit.
Added note:
My scalloped oval didn’t come out quite right. I had a small piece leftover. I handcut it to a smaller oval and hid it behind the ribbon buckle.
