Hibiscus Prayers


Hello....

Just playing around and I found a new challenge to participate in.
The Color Throwdown:


Using Cobalt Blue, Kraft and Gray to make my card along with a sketch from another new to me site, Freshly Made Sketches:

Combine all these ingredients along with a little paper and ink and this is what I created:


Blue background was embossed then stamped and heat set.
Edge of base card is Washi tape.


Flowers and foliage are die cut.

Not a color combo I would have thought of, yet I like the results. 


Freshly Made Sketches  -  Sketch
Color Throwdown  -  Color combo
CASology  -  Tear

 

Simon Says Stamp:  Friendship Blooms stamp set
Poppy Stamps:  Sylvan Sprig die
Memory Box:  Hibiscus Flower die
Crafters Companion:  Elegance embossing folder
Imagine Crafts featuring Tsukineko:  VersaMark ink, White embossing powder
Heidi Swapp:  Washi tape


Thanks so much for stamping by...
