This card is for three challenges. The Moxie Fab Color Inspiration for Card Makers Week, Metallic Challenge; The weekly CardPatterns Sketch #99 Challenge; and the current monthly Hero Arts Challenge.
These are the colors for the Metallic Challenge.
This is sketch 99.
And here is my card based on page 17 of the new 2011 Hero Arts catalog. I love the way the samples included unique and contrasting backgrounds together with flowers. I thought I would give it a try.
For this card I used a soft pink paper called, Pink Pearl. It is from my scraps, and I am not sure of the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the photo does not show the soft shimmer of this paper. I also used a scrap of gold paper for the circle. All the stamps are from Hero Arts. The two background stamps, Graph Background and Daisy Reverse Pattern were both embossed with Ranger, Queen's Gold. The flower in the circle is a new Hero Arts cling stamp, Bold Solid Flower. I bought this cute little cling stamp because it goes perfect with the new Daisy Reverse Pattern. The flower was stamped with Anna Griffin, Shell Pink. The circle edges were distressed with this same ink. The sentiment was stamped in Versafine, Onyx Black. Also used PTI, Scallop Border Punch, Reflections, Gold Pearls and ribbon from my stash.
