DD9ABC3C: my color for the letter C is Calypso Coral. The double challenge is a curve which the ovals have as well as the ends of the word window punch.
DD9ABC4D: my color for the letter D is Dapper Denim. The double challenge is dry embossing. The coral piece is dry embossed with the Elegant Bouquet ef not that you can see much of it!
TLC680 & TLC420: the technique challenge is to do a light to dark technique. The Dapper Denim piece is actually white cardstock that I have sponged with a light to dark effect using Dapper Denim.
TLC682: the techique is hammered embossed which I did on the Dapper Denim piece using the Boho Chic ef. That is a fun technique!
I used the sketch challenge, SC688, to make the card. I stamped the flower in Memento Black ink and colored the flower using an aqua brush. I then stamped it again using Calypso Coral on Calypso Coral paper, fussy cutting that flower and popping it up over the colored flower. I also popped up the sentiment. I used the ray image from the stamp set to add texture to the card base and around the flower.
Thanks for looking!

Love your choice of colors, Catherine. I will have to check this technique out because whatever you did, it looks great. Like how you used the Amazing You stamp set.

Beautiful card! Fabulous take on the sketch and all the challenges. I like how you sponged the denim ink from light to dark; it looks very cool. Nicely done, my friend. Great job! TFS

What a lovely card this is Catherine. This gorgeous bloom is so striking with your denim. Your ombre embossed bg is really fabulous and draws your eye right to this beautiful bloom! ~Karen.
