Have you ever used neutral colors to bring out the depth in one of your coloring projects? Well, let's kick it up a notch and show you just how beautiful your stamped creations can be without any color at all! That's right, this challenge is to color up your card with neutrals - shades of grey, sepia tones or even black and white! Link up your Bringing Back Beautiful Challenge card HERE to enter. If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword BBB08. You have until March 31st to enter! As we unveil our challenge for next month, we’ll share our True Beauties – those card makers who wowed us with this challenge! Winners will be featured on the Flourishes Blog and will receive a True Beauty blog button to display proudly on their blog!
For today's card I decided to use Flourishes' Waterlilies Stamp Set and stamped the waterlily three times in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured them with Copics (E50, E51, E53, E55, E57, E59) and then cut two of the images to create layers for a three dimensional effect.
I cut the sentiment panel using the Label 5 Nestabilities, sponged a little Antique Linen around the edge and stamped the sentiment from Cherry Blossoms in Memento Rich Cocoa. The base of the card is created using Very Vanilla and Chocolate Chip along with some some Basic Grey Capella DP. The vertical panel is more chocolate, punched on one side with the single embossed curve punch and topped with cream crochet lace and some ivory satin ribbon. To finish I added a few Kaisercraft Latte pearls to the corner.
