Saturday Inspiration Challenge


This card was made for the Inspiration challenge today at Splitcoast Stampers. The inspiration came from the line of Scarves from Echo, the one I chose is here:

I loved the painterly look of this silk scarf. I chose to use a set I haven't used in a while, Fifth Avenue Floral. I love coloring this set ( or painting in this case). I used the cosmos flower image and painted them in melon mamba, pixie pink, pumpkin pie, and real red. I added chrystal effects to the center and added clear glass beads to that for a texture for the center of the flower.

Card recipe: ( all Stampin'Up!)

Stamps - Fifth Avenue Floral, On Your birthday
Card Stock - textured melon mamba, watercolor paper, dusty durango
Ink - black, pumpkin pie, real red, pixie pink, melon mamba, kiwi kiss
Accessories - glass beads, pink satin ribbon, scallop trim border punch
