CD 385 - Birthday Leaves

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge #385!

This week, the challenge colours come from an inspiration picture. Use any colours found within the picture (and black and white if desired). 

I selected two less obvious colours from the picture - orange and blue. They work so well together and I wanted to create a card using minimal colours. 

I stamped the leaves using Intense Black ink to create a background on my card. The leaves were coloured in shades of blue and the background was coloured in orange. The Tri-Blend markers make it easy to colour and shade - something with which I need much practice... The tips of the leaves were brushed with the Clear Shimmer Brush. 

The sentiment was stamped and then die cut using a stitched frame. The outside frame had to be hand cut to size along the outside. 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you use the inspiration picture shown above.
