I wanted to use colors that I haven't touched as much lately, so I based by card around Rich Razzleberry. It's one of my favorites, but I haven't used it in awhile. I paired it with Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake so I could use the Fresh Prints DSP Pack.
The card base is Crumb Cake with a layer of Rich Razzleberry embossed with the new Scallops EF. I took a sheet of Whisper White and randomly stamped the flowers from Petal Parade with Rich Razzleberry and Coastal Cabana inks.
I used the Circle Framelit to cut out a section that I liked. The die I used was the fifth in from the outside.
Once the circle was die cut, I adhered it to a piece of Coastal Cabana and hand cut a slender matting around the circle. I added it to the card base then started on the greeting. I cut a piece of Whisper White 1" x 4 1/4" and stamped "just because" from A Dozen Thoughts. Underneath I added the scalloped stamp in Coastal Cabana. After cutting banner ends with my Hexagon Punch, I added a matting of Coastal Cabana the same as I did with the circle.
The small banners below the greeting are punched from Fresh Prints DSP with the new Sale-a-bration Banner Punch. Lastly, I added small flowers with pearls using the Itty Bitty Punch Pack.
I had a great time with this sketch and color combo. If you'd like to join the challenge with me, just go to Technostamper to see all the details.
