Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #16


Today's card is for Dawn McVey's Color Challenge #16. I love these colors! I actually worked with the color palette a couple of weeks ago...inspired by the pattern on the inside of my flip flops! LOL I used Kraft, Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla, and Chocolate Chip.

On to the card details. I loved how this card turned out. It's aaaaalmost vintage. Or at least as close to vintage as I'll probably ever get. I love the vintage style, but can't ever seem to pull it off. I think my style is definitely more "less is more". The hearts and scallop cirlce are die cut using the Big Shot. I stamped a little flourish behind the scallop, just so a little would peek out. I wanted to bring out the flourishes in that Razzleberry Lemonade designer paper. Then I colored some naked chipboard and poked a few holes in it to add some stitching, added a few little x stitches to the edge of the heart, and finished with some paper piercing on the scallop. Done.
