Raspberry Suite Color Challenge - Week 6


I barely squeaked this card for the most recent Raspberry Suite Color Challenge under the wire yesterday! :) This week's colors were brown, light aqua, coral pink and white... So fun! LOL, I know, I say that every time, but it's true... Dawn has such a way with color and picks the most awesome combos! :)

This card came together pretty quickly. I started with a 5 1/4" square card base of acetate, then ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I use the largest Nestabilities Large Scalloped Rectangles die to create the Berry Sorbet scalloped square, then cut out the Dark Chocolate, Aqua Mist and Whisper White layers to size. I stamped the two flower images from Friends 'Til the End in Versamark ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. To finish up, I added some ribbon, stamped and punched the sentiment, and then added some clear rhinestones.

Have a great one!
