Mary is our hostess this week and she has chosen Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and for dessert: anything goes. This also fits our MIX217 challenge of Words of Wisdom.
I chose to add kraft as my neutral. In order for my ink to show up on the kraft cs, I stamped in white kraft ink first and then the chosen colors. (I didn’t try to line the stamps up too exactly because I liked the look of the white showing up as a border of sorts.) The colors look quite muted but I promise – they are the actual challenge colors! Also, I masked the flowers when I stamped the leaves. I embossed the stamen in clear ep after stamping in black, and then embossed the sentiment in white, splattered with white acrylic paint, and sponged some more white kraft ink around the edges. I thought it needed just something extra so I added a white frame in white gel pen. This panel was popped up with dimensionals before attaching to the card front.

I am a lover of colour and love all colours, but these muted colours on the kraft background is so elegant. Soft and unassuming, yet artisticly done with the shadowing and allowing the sentiment to steal the show, which is beautiful in itself Maura. A gorgeous creation my friend.
