My card is inspired from the fabric we were to view at the challenge: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
the colors were wonderful and vivid, so i was drawn to using cranberry crisp ,so saffron, and i sponged pomegranate,apricot appeal and marigold over a white embossed piece to achieve the panel color. My paper has a thin strip that color in it and that was my source for the color.
i embossed using my cuttlebug, colored the little "love bees" withan aquabrush and refills, the bees wings are copic sparkly(don't know if it's really visible) the little heart is raised on a dimensional,
added ribbon and the paper is gorgeous Basic Grey. I added piercing in the spout of the water can and along the top and sides.
