This is my sample for the color challenge hosted by Karen. She gave us marvelous colors to play with and anything goes for the dessert option. My dessert is ribbon. I have this fabulous reversible ribbon in two of the challenge colors. Splendid!
I stamped the image on watercolor paper. Then I watercolored with ink and water painters in the three challenge colors, plus the neutral Crumb Cake on the bird's feathers and the branch. The panel was die-cut. The mango panel was embossed. The card base was covered with a beautiful pattern from the coordinating DSP pack. Everything was assembled.
I used Wink of Stella on the bird, flowers and leaves. The three dots came from a craft kit that my DD had purchased. She gave me a tray full of leftover dots after she completed the project; this is the first time I have used them.
Great colors to work with! Hope you join in with the Color Challenge this week or anytime. TFL

Ah, the two-toned ribbon, what a hit! Delightful card, Diane. Beautifully colored bird and blooms and your subtle embossing along with the pretty bg paper are wonderful additions~

Such a sweet image and your watercoloring really adds to that "sweet" look. Love that gorgeous dp and it's beautiful as the bg for your darling bird. The two-tone ribbon adds the perfect punctuation point to finish this delightful card.
