I apologize for being a little late getting my card posted today. I had a lot of fun making it and hopefully you'll think it was worth the wait. For this week's DCBD challenge Heidi gave us this great color challenge to work with.
I decided to combine it with this sketch challenge from Julee.
I left off the sentiment on the card so I can use it for whatever occasion I'd like. I'll probably add the sentiment when/if I decide to use this. I tend to make lots of cards, I just struggle with sending them out the door!
I took three of the white flowers from the Pretties Kit and colored them with my Rose Red marker. The color was a little dark, so I went over the flowers with my Aqua Painter. This softened the intensity of the Red quite a bit. I folded each of the flowers in half and stuck it together with a Mini Glue Dot. I finished each flower with a white half-back pearl from the Pretties Kit. The stems behind the flowers were stamped in Going Gray ink and colored in with a Bashful Blue marker.
Here's a look at the inside of my card.
Be sure to visit the DCBD blog and see what the other design team members made. Feel free to join in the challenge too and leave a link to your blog. Thanks for stopping by! ~Dannie
