Hi everyone! I hope that you had a great weekend and that your week is off to a good start. Another quiet weekend here at the little house in the woods. Friday night I went to a party where the hostess's good friend who is from India was there with her beautiful jewelry that she makes; I resisted any purchases since I lost one of the tiny gold hoop earrings that I wear 98% of the time. As I was brushing my teeth the other night, I noticed I was only wearing one earring. I was home all day, so I believe it must be in the house, but careful searching through furniture cushions and dusting of the floors hasn't turned up the missing earring. Well, I guess hubby has got a great idea for a present for our anniversary in a couple of months (if I go with him and pick them out-hee, hee).
Last week's Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge hosted by Silke Ledlow was a color challenge--kraft, hot pink, soft yellow, and black. This color combination was a toughie for me. I knew I wanted to use one Flourishes beautiful floral stamps, so I went through my stamps, thinking pink. I chose the stamp set Poppy Patch. While we normally think of poppies as red, there are some beautiful pink poppies.
I stamped the image and sentiment in Memento Black Tuxedo and colored with these copics:
Now to work in more black, yellow, and kraft. This took a long time. I pulled out patterned papers, cardstock, and background stamps. After many choices and discards, I finally settled on my trusty PTI background stamps.
As always thanks for stopping by and for your comments,
Supplies:

ReplyDeleteLovely card, Cammie. Your coloring is beautiful and I absolutely adore that sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHi Cammie, sorry to hear this was a tough combo...I think you absolutely mastered it!!! Gorgeous design and use of colors!!! Thank you for playing :)!!! Hugs ~S~
ReplyDeletePS: I lost one of my new earrings not to long ago too!!! I was so sad, because it matches a necklace as well :( . Anyway, I was cleaning up my purse and guess what it must have dropped into my purse when I talked on my cellphone....LOL!!! Hope you find yours too...I'll keep my fingers crossed!!! Hugs ~S~
Cammie, this is so pretty! I really like these colors and love pink poppies! Beautiful coloring and the more tailored background helps to showcase the flower. And I agree with Linda, the sentiment is absolutely wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the poppies! Yes, there are some poppies in gorgeous colors other than red. So sorry you lost your earring, but a gift of a pair would be fun! And I like the markers in their cup, they look like lipstick shades .
ReplyDeleteGreat job! Love the color combo and how you colored the poppies too. I am sorry to hear you lost your earrings I bet it will show up when you least expect it. Have fun picking out a new pair though!
ReplyDeleteCammie, this is so pretty! I really love the coloring and how you stamped the flowers around the border. And I'm sorry you lost your earring. I know how frustrating that can be! I've found that when I stop looking that it sometimes will suddenly show up. I hope that you find it soon!
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty Cammie, you did a great job with your COPICs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - love your color choices!
ReplyDeleteThis is simply GORGEOUS!
