Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC114)!







Happy Tuesday everyone!  It is time for Flourishes FTTC114!  Cindy is the challenge host this week. She has a beautiful color challenge for us this week.  She has chosen blue, brown, and yellow for us to use on our cards!   You can use any hues of these shades.  We would love to see what you create!


For my card I am using the newly released Orchids set.  My card is 4.25 squared.  Really small since I usually do 5.5 square. I am trying to play around with different size cards.  Also, I am loving having the focal image hang of the edge a bit.   Crafting "off the edge" so to speak.    I stamped my orchids with Memento tuxedo black onto Flourishes Classic white cardstock.  I colored with Flourishes Copic Color Collection.  I layered onto Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock.     I finished my card with gold button, seam binding, and corsage pins.

Check out the other blog team designers to see what they created with the color challenge!

Cindy   Dee   Silke   MakiTammy, and 
March's Guest Designer Pattie Goldman!
