CD 383 - Birthday Peonies

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 383!

It's a tic tac toe board again this week - one of my favourite challenges. This one contains pastel colours. Although we use Close To My Heart colours, you can use any products as long as they are a very close match.

I chose to create a birthday card with a new stamp set. I love this floral stamp set and wanted to use it on a card. I embossed the floral group in silver and then used Tri-Blend and Touch markers to colour in the flowers. The border was cut from the Stitched Rectangle Thin Cuts although I had to cut a sliver off each side to allow for the peach background. I brushed the dark part of the flowers using the Clear Shimmer Brush and then added some coloured Bitty Sparkles for the centres of the flowers. I stamped the sentiment using Wisteria ink and purposely stamped the left side of the sentiment a few extra times to create a minor ombre effect. I added a few coloured sparkles to coordinate with the flowers.

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you use the colour palette shown above.
