Color Throwdown - orange, navy, mustard and aqua:
I stamped the flowers using two yellow inks, so I got a tone on tone look. The center of the flowers were stamped with blackk ink. I die cut them with the coordinate dies (Papertrey Ink Pop-up Florals set).
I stamped the sprigs,on a white cs, using two different SU stamps set (Heavenly Hollyhocks and Sending Smiles), in mint and dark green.
I then aranged the flowers on top of the stamped sprigs, using foam dots for the bigger flower.
I matted the white panel on a dark green cs, and then adhered it on the white basis.
For the final touch, I adhered some mint dots.
It also goes for the 'Garden' challenge at Addicted to CAS:
I have a new card to share with you, made with the inspiration of a few challenges.
At The Color Throwdown #721, the colors chosen by Amy Rysavy were way out of my comfort zone! I rearly use coral on my crads, but I wanted to give it a try:
I stamped and heat embossed the flowers' outlines with Lindy's Gang Silver Moon Sapphire ep. The inside of the flowers were stamped with Ranger's Tea Rose archival ink, and the flowers were die cut.
The leaves were stamped with Ranger's Library Green archival ink and die cut. I also stamped a few sprigs in green, directly on the white basis.
I also stamped the sentiment in green ink.
I cut 3 stripes of silver cardstock, and heat embossed them with the Lindy's ep. I wanted the stripes to ground my flowers, so I adhered the stripes diagonally, and aranged the flowers and the leaves toward the left bottom corner.
To finish up, I added a glitter green enamel dot to the center of the big flower, and a few silver glitter enamel dots around the sentiment.
The white panel was adhered to a silver cardstock basis.
Somehow, in the photo the green looks much more darker than in real, but I couldn't get a better take of the card to show it.
It also goes for the Embossing challenge at AAA Birthday cards challenge:
It's a great technique and I'm sure I'll be using it more in the future.
I used solid dark blue cardstock, but stamping with the white pigment ink gave it a pale bluish tone, and made the blue ink stand out.
For outlining the flowers and leaves, I traced the edges with an embossing brush, and so I did inside the flowers, and then heat embossed with white ep.
The white outlines, along with the white matting make the whole design just pop up.
I added some glitter silver enmael dots as an extra accent.
Here're some close ups to showcase the different blue tones:
AAA Birthday cards #43 - monochrom:
Finally, I decided to go for a flower and leaves. I stmped the sketch flower in dark brown on a pale grayish green cardstock, and die cut it (Papertrey Ink Pop Up Florals).
I die cut a stitched hexagon shape and run it with a pierced leaves die. I matted the hexagon with dark brown cardstock.
I adhered the flower on top of the white hexagon, using some foam tape for dimention. I stackec lots of sprigs and leaves in brown and the two shades of green under the flower, and added a glitter dark brown enamel dot in the middle.
I die cut the sentiment in green and brown and adhrered a little overlapping each other, as if there's a shaddow.

I stamped the flower in pink and dark purple inks, and the stem and leaves in greenish ink.
The sentiment is a sticker and it says in Hebrew: 'Quick Recovery'.
