This card incorporates three of the challenges so far this week here on Splitcoast:
1. Try a New Technique: Pounded Flowers...what a totally cool technique! Loved it...did discover though that marigolds although being a very good match for Dusty Durango...are very very juicy!!
2. Color Challenge: Crushed Curry, Bermuda Bay, Dusty Durango The dessert option was to stamp onto our DSP...I stamped the Grass from the Inspired By Nature set and my sentiment directly onto the DSP.
3. Sketch Challenge: another awesome sketch from Rox to work with.
I loved how these three challenges came together for me. This is my first time using a jumbo grommet...I added a build a brad for it's centre using a piece of the pounded flowers watercolor paper. The ribbon was colored with my Bermuda Bay marker to match.
