Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and I will admit that she really challenged me with her palette: Pebbled Path, Lost Lagoon, and Wild Wheat. The dessert option is to add a border.
I scored a vertical line 3/4" from the fold, and glued it down to the inside. Then I adhered the die-cut Lost Lagoon border to the "spine" of the card.
I added a Lost Lagoon layer to the Wild Wheat card base, then a layer of Pebbled Path DS paper. Stamped vases onto Very Vanilla cardstock, one vase with Lost Lagoon ink, one with Wild Wheat ink, and the last with Wild Wheat and then sponged Lost Lagoon ink onto the stamp before stamping. I added a few elements cut from silver foil cardstock and a few enamel dots.
Things I would do differently next time: I think the stamped and die-cut foliage would look fine if placed on a background of the same color--stamped on Very Vanilla and placed on a background of Very Vanilla. But I think with this background, the card would look much better with all die-cut foliage--from this set of dies and others to fill in.
Still, this is one of my very favorite stamp and die sets. Please join us in the Gallery this week with your creation!
