This is my card for todayÂ’s CC296 challenge.
These colors are very challenging ones for me, I had to really think for a long while before starting my card.
I decided to make a gate fold card.
The colors for todayÂ’s challenge are Poppy, Turquoise and white.
For my images I used a new set releasing today “Brick Wall” by Mark’s Finest Papers.
I stamped the brick wall on white with turquoise ink, then inked the vine stamp with markers in green and red.
I added red gems to some of the flowers for sparkle.
The white panels have been embossed with the Swiss Dots CB embossing folder.
I inked the sentiment in Palette Noir and the butterfly in turquoise.
I finished the card by adding this beautiful turquoise ribbon.
All of the supplies used on this card can be found at MarkÂ’s Finest Papers.
