I was so exited to see that Simon Says Stamp is having a new challenge in their
flickr group. I let the time get away from me, and am getting this entry in under the wire. The first challenge is a color challenge, we are to use at least three from the image.
I think I have managed to use all 5 colors - my inks are from Simon Says Stamp - Sunshine, and Orange Peel, Hero Arts -Field Greens and Soft Granite, and Jet Black Archival Ink from Ranger.
The stamp set is Flower Friend from Simon Says Stamp. I first drew a light pencil line curve along the right side. Then I stamped the flowers and leaves along that line. I wanted a dramatic color pop, so I cut along the flower garland leaving a small white edge. I then backed it with a piece of black cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment in white.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
