This card is my submission for SCS's Color Challenge, CC575, using the colors of Mint Macaron, Blushing Bride, and Blackberry Bliss. Karen Barber hosted the challenge, and I was uncertain how to use the colors together, but it turns out that she did a great job in her selection! Thank you, Karen!!
Besides the beautiful ODBD Layered Lacy Squares, a feature of this card is the floral image from SU Secret Garden. I tried a technique (don't know its name) that is typically done on a craft color of card stock. I wanted to try it on a dark card stock, and it works but not as well as using Crumb Cake.
I covered the image with VersaMark Ink, stamped it onto the blackberry bliss cutout, covered it with white embossing powder, and heat set it. Then I painted the petals of the floral image with SU Whisper White Craft Ink. After completely drying, I used a SU Blushing Bride Marker to color over the dry craft ink. It took several layers of ink. Next time I use the technique, it will be on Crumb Cake card stock.
I dyed a piece of SU Whisper White Organza Ribbon Mint Macaron (water and reinker) and attached it behind the Blushing Bride cutout and added a bow at the bottom.
Enjoy and TFL!
