This is my entry for Dawn McVey's color challenge #4. What a gorgeous
choice of colors!Dawn is in Hawaii, so I thought my theme should be in honor of her trip. Also, I can take this card and mail it from Hawaii when I go there :o)
Card details: My base Soft Aqua card stock is from Royal Langnickel bought at AC Moore. The flower and Aloha! stamps are from Inique Boutique's "Tropical Lagoon" clear set which is inked with "Chocolate Brown" from Stampabilities. Aqua colored bling ~compliments of Studio 18. The White vellum is embossed with Cuttlebug's "Swiss Dot" folder which is peeking out from the cut-out part of this huge flower stamp. The White sheer ribbon with satin edges is from Michael's. I tried to take the photo showing a bit of the inside paper which is white with a border of brown damask print. And yes, that is one of my real orchid plants in beautiful bloom! Thanks for stopping by ~ have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteHey Helen! You asked about my stamp and if it was a border stamp. No it has about eight flowers in a row, so I just stamped it twice to make it a border. Thanks for looking! :)
