CC131 - Birthday wishes

This week's SCS CC131 Color Challenge was to use Purely Pomegranate, Taken With Teal and Always Artichoke. I didn't think these colors were going to be all that great together, but boy I was wrong! I really like this color combo! :)

I started out with a 5 1/4" square card base of Purely Pomegranate, and stamped it with the Paisley background using the coordinating ink.

Once that was complete, I stamped my main image in Stazon Brown ink on a 2 1/8 x 5 1/4" strip of Whisper White, then colored it in with diluted Purely Pomegranate, Taken With Teal and Always Artichoke inks.

While the ink was drying, I cut out the Chocolate Chip (2 1/4 x 5 1/4") and Taken With Teal (2 1/2 x 5 1/4") layers, and then used my corner rounder to scallop the edge of the Taken With Teal layer.

To finish off the card, I assembled all the layers, attached them to the card and stamped the sentiment. I also used Making Memories Clear Glaze on the flowers, but you can't really see the shine in the photo. Better luck next time! :)
