For today's technique challenge, we were to pick a past sketch challenge, a past color challenge, and a past technique challenge from the list of challenges 1-10. I chose SC10 (as seen here), CC06 (use Rose Red and Chocolate Chip), and TLC01, which is the Kissing technique.
I inked up my Aida Cloth bg stamp with Always Artichoke, stamped my solid leaf stamp in Mellow Moss and then kissed that against the Aida Cloth for the kissing technique on the leaves. I stamped my blossoms first in Pretty in Pink and then Rose Red, stamping off occasionally for variation in color. I then stamped my Linen bg stamp in Pretty in Pink and laid that over the image and sentiment panels.
Pierced the sentiment panel and rounded the corners. Used dimensionals for the sentiment panel.
Thanks for a fun challenge, Beth!

Oh my my. This is absolutely wonderful. I looked at those colors and would have never thought of something this wonderful. The entire card is perfect from top to bottom. I love your ribbon. It is a great addition to this particular card. Great sentiment too. Best in the gallery today. Nice job....
