When I looked at the colors together, I thought that combining Riding Hood Red, Tangerine Tango and Kiwi Kiss would make a nice fall-themed card. So, I decided to start from there and then somehow figure out how to work the Pacific Point into the mix.I used two of the leaf images from the retired Autumn Fest stamp set for the image panel. Since I haven't bought Tangerine Tango ink (this is the one In Color I'm just not sure about yet . . .), I substituted Only Orange ink with the edges rolled in Riding Hood Red for one of the leaf images. The bold images in this set are perfect for the rock and roll technique! The other leaf was stamped in Kiwi Kiss ink. I matted the panel on Kiwi Kiss paper, then added another layer of Pacific Point under that. It's just a little bit, but it's there!
I used a piece of Tangerine Tango cardstock for the card base. I stamped it with the Twill background using Versamark to give it a textured look. I created a scallop edged strip just a bit longer than the width of the matted image panel. I attached brads to each end of the panel and fit the panel on the cardfront so it lay between the brads.
I used the grateful image from the retired Small Script set for the sentiment. I layered it on a scalloped circle, then added one of the Riding Hood Red buttons I got in a demo bulk buy during the summer to the panel.
Instead of heading off to work this morning, I've been called for jury duty. Since it's late in the week, I'm not sure I'll end up being selected for a jury, but I'm taking my book just in case I have to sit and wait a while. I'm looking forward to seeing how the other challenge participants incorporated all of these colors into their creations when I get home later today. You can find links to their blogs in the sidebar on the right.
