It is another cool crisp Tuesday morning and we have another awesome color challenge for you over on the ColourQ Challenge Blog. Arielle has chosen these colors Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, More Mustard, Kraft and white, for you this week. I always love a combo that I can use on flowers, it makes my task so easy. Please, join us this week and try this wonderful palette, I look forward to seeing your projects.
I did a lot of embossing before I chose just the right combination. The card base is kraft cover with white embossed cs. Die cuts and embossing are what this card is about, that and a little fussy cutting. The skirt in the photo reminds me of one my mom had when I was growing up. I chose to take just the flowers to do my colors in. I wanted an elegant card and that would be white with just pops of color. The die cut borders out of kraft and the small heart with the sentiment tied all I wanted to do with this card together. I had really not intended to get started so early on Valentines, but once I started, they just keep coming.

I had a hard time getting this card photographed, in order to show the embossing the Old Olive appears dark, but I did use Old Olive and More Mustard on the leaves. Have a wonderful Tuesday! We are supposed to be nice again so I will be outside spreading topsoil on the grass just in case we get some rain.
****I had several you ask what stamp set I used. This is Stampin'Up!, You Are Loved, from the Holiday mini. When I used this rose stamp I did not realize this set did not carry over. I was disappointed to know that I bought this set, it discontinued January 3rd, yet it was for an upcoming holiday! I contacted SU and conveyed my displeasure, if you really like this stamp, you might contact them as well. I am sorry to have used a retired set for a display card. I will continue to use it, just not in challenge cards.
