Inkspiration Colour Challenge #9

Well Hello There!!!!

I was so sad to not be able to play along with Keesh's challenge last week... My little darlings were both unwell, and then thought it would be nice to share it with Mummy, so, I've had my hands full and not with lovely stamps and ribbon. hahaha.

Anyway, I am feeling a tad better today, so thought I'd sit down and play EARLY this week, just incase the inevitable should happen... fingers crossed, it's GONE for good.

Keesh has set a Colour Challenge this week and the lovely colours are Ruby Red, Baja Breeze, Basic Grey and Whisper White.... mmmmmm LOVELY aren't they.

Here's the card I came up with:-


Now I received my GORGEOUS Fifth Avenue Floral set on Wednesday and have been itching to play with it.... but it's had to wait until TONIGHT!!!!!!! Wooo Hooo!!!!
I've used the same layout as this card I made a little while ago, and why the temptation to play along and use the same and equally as gorgeous Trendy Trees was great, I remained strong and played with my newbie.

I started with Baja Breeze as the base and layered it with some Ruby Red and onto that some Basic Grey DSP. The smaller layer is Ruby Red and I've stamped one of the smaller flowers from the set in Ruby Red onto that. I used the same flower stamped onto some water colour paper which I embossed with White Embossing powder before colouring with my Aqua Pens and some Baja Breeze Ink... I'm thinking now that I probably should've played a bit more and increased the depth of colour a wee bit... I'll remember that for next time (I'm a bit new to water colouring you see!!). I also stamped the sentiment from the same set in Baja Breeze and that has all been popped up onto some dimensionals. The Ribbon is Baja Breeze and I secured the bow ( which I must say, I'm very Very proud of!!! hahahaha) with a Rhinestone Brad.

Now, please let me elaborate on my BOW!!!! You know how you can spend close to an hour sometimes (well maybe not everyone, maybe just me!!) fluffing around trying to tie your bow so it looks all lovely.... anyone??? Well tonight it just sort of happended the very FIRST time I tried... it's like all the fluffing around has finally paid off... hahaha.. The test though, will I be able to do it again.. and will I remember how I did it... hmmmmm.. I shall let you know.. hahaha.
(sorry about the little digression!!!)

I hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by.
