Colour Challenge

It's funny, when I was checking out the sneak peaks for Damask Designs, several of the colour combinations popped out at me. I was planning on making a card with this particular combination (Aqua, Chocolate and Lemon) before I even saw the challenge. The challenge just ensured that I actually followed through, instead of filing it onto my to-do list.

So here's my card, I went way back...to the first PTI set ever released. I did bring in Polka Dot Basics. I thought about leaving the Lemon background as is, but the dots seemed like a nice unifying theme (to go with the dotted flower centers). A tip, that isn't exactly earth shattering, but it's something I hadn't thought of before. Instead of constantly switching between the different stem length stamps, use the longest one, but place a post-it note at the base. You can then stamp the exact length you want, and you'll always have a crisp edge. For the card, I stamped the sentiment first, then placed the stems around it.

Supplies:

Stamps: Paper Tray, Polka Dot Basics

Ink: Lemon Tart, Dark Chocolate, Aqua Mist

Paper: White, Dark Chocolate, Lemon Tart, Aqua Mist

Accessories, etc.: 3/8'' Brown Grosgrain, Rectangle Scalloped Nestabilities, pop dots
