All week I've been meaning to participate in the colour challenge over at Just Add Ink, and have just realised that the deadline for entries is midnight tonight!! My boys are at cricket, so I've thrown some food in the oven, and created a card with "Happy Moments" - one of the gorgeous Stampin' Up! stamp sets on offer for FREE during Sale-A-Bration (which runs to the end of March).
The 'challenge' is to use Kraft, Rose Red, More Mustard and Sage Shadow together. I have to say, this was more of a pleasure than a challenge, because this colour combo looks GREAT! I use kraft at every opportunity, although I must admit More Mustard is not a go-to colour for me. The challenge rules allow for the inclusion of a neutral with these colours ... since I'm on a bit of a white-embossing-on-kraft kick, I've included some white. Here is the card I've come up with:
Stamps: Happy Moments, Polka dot
Card: Kraft, Sage Shadow, More Mustard, Rose Red
Ink: Whisper White craft stampin' pad, Versamark inkpad, Sage Shadow, Rose Red and More Mustard markers
Other: White embossing powder, sponge dauber, Rose Red 1" double-stitched grosgrain ribbon, Word Window punch, Scallop Edge punch, 3/4" circle punch, Playground designer button, mini glue dot, mat pack and paper piercing tool
very very noice Mrs B - loving the Kraft with embossing and markers.

Your card is simply stunning. The flowers look amazing and the scallop border really makes the flowers stand out as well as the embossing. I really love this card. :)

Lovely card. Love the crisp look of the white embossing and the markers colour beautifully on kraft. Cute polka dots and just the right amount of colour accenting!

Love this one Christine - the white embossing on Kraft is a knockout. The polka dots and ribbon finish it off nicely. Judy xx
