This is my sample for the Color Challenge hosted by Mary. Her terrific colors are: Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow and So Saffron with DSP as dessert (optional).
I used the free gift stamp set in the March 2023 Paper Pumpkin kit to create an all-occasion card. I stamped & heat embossed the lily plant and the planter; and then I watercolored in the challenge colors. When it was dry, I stamped the dots on the planter. The image panel was die-cut with a stitched rectangle die and then layered on Mossy Meadow CS and Calypso Coral DSP.
For a fun border, I created a strip of DSP scraps. I ran strips of Tear and Tape on a piece of lightweight cardstock, and then pressed on strips of DSP in the challenge colors. I trimmed the ends and cut it vertically into the width I wanted. I was able to also cut a few strips for future cards. The final touch was some Mossy Meadow thick twine.
Great colors. I look forward to seeing your ideas! TFL
