Utah Divas International Color Challenge #1

Hello Friends,

I am soooooooo excited.  One of my great stampin' friends, Gretchen Barron is now hosting a Color Challenge every Tuesday on our UDI blog - http://www.utahdivasinternational.blogspot.com/

I have participated in the UDI Saturday Sketch Challenges and have missed them.  I wanted to try something different and knew that a Color Challenge would be great.  I tend to stick to the same colors and so by joining this kind of challenge, it would help me to work with colors I never or very rarely use. 

This weeks Color Challenge was based on this - (Remember the challenge is based on color not the actual picture.)

The base of my card is Crumb Cake Card Stock.  A color that I LOVE and one I haven't used in a l-o-n-g time.  Early Espresso Card Stock is one I LOVE and use a LOT.  I ran this layer through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. 

I then added some Pear Pizzazz Stitched Poly Ribbon and tied a knot with the Rich Razzleberry Taffeta Ribbon.  Next I stamped the "Friends Are Flowers That Never Fade" sentiment from the "Friends Never Fade" Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink on Whisper White Card Stock.
 
I stamped the flower image again, colored it with the Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker and cut it out and placed it on top of the already stamped flower with a Stampin' Dimensional. I layered it on a piece of Early Espresso Card Stock and then on some Pear Pizzazz Card Stock.  I added some Jewels - Basic Pearls. 
Next I put some Crystal Effects in the middle of the flower and added some Pink Stampin' Glitter then left it to dry.

Friends Never Fade - Clear-Mount Stamp (120618) Price: $13.95

There are fewer images more elegant on cards and home décor projects than floral silhouettes. Our Friends Never Fade set provides four more fabulous options for layering on luxury. Use them for subtle backgrounds and bold but delicate accents to make a lasting impression. Available both in wood-mount and clear-mount. Set Quantity: 4
