I ran into a friend on Halloween who commented on the fact that I haven't updated my blog for a really long time. I couldn't decide to whether to be apologetic or excited. Excited because now I know someone actually reads my blog, or apologetic because I haven't posted for so long. So, I'm offering a public apology to Perry and anyone else who's missed my posts, and I'll just smile to myself while I post this next card.
This card is for my DDSS (a Secret Sister for SU Demonstrators on SCS), so I hope she doesn't read my blog. Her favorite color is turquoise. It's not a color I use a lot, so it was hard to come up with something. I started with a sketch I found on SCS (SC 142, but I changed it quite a bit) and played with my Color Coach to find a color combination I liked. I wasn't real impressed with it's recommendations for turquoise, so I looked around for a combination turquoise as a coordinating color and found this. It's Green Galore with coordinating colors Garden Green, Rose Red and Tempting Turquoise. A simple card, but I like it. And amazingly, my daughter likes the color combination and she usually doesn't like the Color Coach combinations.
Stamps: Fabulous Flowers, Background Sampler, Itty Bitty Backgrounds. Card stock: Tempting Turquoise, Garden Green, Green Galore, Whisper White. Ink: Regal Rose, Rose Red, Green Galore, Taken with Teal and Versamark. Accessories: Tempting Turquoise 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, clear embossing powder, glitter, liquid glue and stamping dimensionals. The flower is Regal Rose rocked with Rose Red, then the petals are highlighted with liquid glue and glitter.
Hope you like it!
