Challenges met with Pomegranate Rose card


I was determined to get some challenges done before the next Belli challenge tomorrow. Yesterday, I made the background with re-inkers and alcohol, using Purely Pomegranate and Rose Romance. Love the way it blended and turned out! Anyway, got down to business this afternoon while it snows. I used Korin Sutherland's Paper Craft Planet Sweet'nSassy group sketch challenge for my sketch and SNS Love Blooms designed by Chris Dickinson. I heat embossed the image and sentiment in Silver and water colored the flowers and vase with SU Purely Pom.,Old Olive and Regal
Rose. The paper is the Eva collection by Basic Grey. SU cs, Organdy ribbon, Dew Drops and scallop ovals round out the design. I used dimensional to raise the cut out bouquet.
This card also meets yesterday's new Cupcake Craft Challenge which calls for 3 colors of cs, 2 embellishments and 1 ribbon. Thanks Ceal!
I am so happy that I am finding time to stamp again, been in all day while it is snowing.
Thanks for taking a look at my latest card, as always I appreciate your comments! The inspiration for the card comes from my collection of Cranberry Glass vases.
