At the last minute I decided to create a card for this week's FMS Sketch Challenge.
A clean and simple sketch. I also was inspired by the following color palette that I found on Pinterest.
I thought the bright pink flowers against the Turquoise Blue was stunning.
So I grabbed Tempting Turquoise, 3 1/4" x 4 1/4", and Baja Breeze (retired SU color) 3 1/8" x 4" and layered them. The Whisper White piece is 2 5/8" x 3 1/2" and stamped the Dahlia from Regarding Dahlias stamp set in Melon Mambo. Using my Blender Pen I added dimension with Pink Pirouette ink.
The ribbon is Blushing Bride Chevron ribbon.
I did not achieve what I was truly envisioning as the blues are not quite right.
You can see that I lined the envelope in Tempting Turquoise and then decorated the outside of the envelope with another Dahlia. I adore this flower, it is just so happy!
This is a quick and easy card I hope you are inspired to get your paper and ink out and make something beautiful today.
