This week we've hit our 220th challenge at As You See It Challenges and it's a colour challenge, and the colours are very warm ones reminiscent of flames, if it weren't for the abundance of white, which somehow makes the rest seem quite delicate! So I'm calling the challenge this week "Fragile Flames"! Here's a look at the graphic:
I was also looking for a feminine design for a birthday card for an upcoming class, so I dug out the Fanciful Fragrance stamp set from the Annual Catalogue, and all of a sudden, this post is brought to you by the letter F!! Fanciful Fragrance for Fragile Flames! Take a closer look:
- And just to stick two more "Fs" in there, the background panel, in Grapefruit Grove cardstock, is embossed with the Parisian 'Flourish' 3D Embossing Folder - let's see now: Fanciful Fragrance and Flourish Folder for Fragile Flames!
- The Whisper White front panel is collage stamped with images from the Fanciful Fragrance stamp set. The perfume bottles are stamped in Grapefruit Grove, but over top of some script stamped in Mango Melody that has been stamped off a couple of time. The flowers at the top were inked up in Mango Melody and then some Poppy Parade was added with a sponge dauber. Finally the Fleur-de-lis was stamped in Poppy Parade that was stamped off twice, if you can believe it because it's still so vibrant. I would have stamped it off a third time if I had known.
- The sentiment is also from the Fanciful Fragrance set, stamped in Poppy Parade and die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies. It's actually backed with two stitched rectangles of the same size, one in Poppy Parade cardstock and one in Mango Melody. I looked for a Happy Birthday in a flowy script, but I couldn't find one I liked, so decided to stick with that.
That's a wrap! Enjoy your weekend! Play along with As You See It Challenges if you have a chance!
