What pretty colors for today's Color Challenge! They make me think of flowers. I don't have the exact colors (never do, lol), but I think these are close enough. I didn't use any metallic gold, just the gold yellow in the little flowers.
This was just a tad tricky to put the flowers in the jar & have it look “correct”. I first stamped the flowers & masked the stems before stamping the mason jar on top. I stamped just the top of the mason jar on a separate piece & after coloring everything, I cut out the 2 horizontal bands of the jar & attached them on top of the corresponding area on my base image. I added a little splatter. On the background, I stamped the 2 flowers using the grape & posy inks & I used generational stamping with these…meaning I stamped them more than once before reinking.
Thanks so much for looking! It's on my blog w/ the colors of Copics I used: The Write Stuff

Sounds like a lot of detail went into this gorgeous card. Your masking technique worked real well with the flowers and mason jar. So very well done, Julie.

The background is complimentary and charming. And after all that you did some splatter on it! And that takes a real big amount of courage after all the previous work. Can ya tell I am impresses?
