Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday Everyone!
My card for today is featuring the Sketch Challenge combined with the Color Challenge from SCS to use So Saffron, Handsome Hunter & Bravo Burgundy. I had a very hard time figuring out how I was going to work these colors peeps! I scratched my head for quite a while until I saw the sketch and then it all came together albeit slowly but it finally did. I stamped my so saffron cs to make the appearance of dp, sponged 2 of my image panels for a bit of depth and randomly stamped my flower piece to incorporate all the colors.

Sometimes going outside your comfort zone is the right thing to do.....I'm really glad I did on this card!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
TTFN,
Hugs,

Easten Blooms & Elegant Cheer ss; Bravo Burgundy, So Saffron & Handsome Hunter cs; Bravo Burgundy, So Saffron & Handsome Hunter ink; Trio Flower Punch; Silver Brads; Sponge

    I'm glad you did it too. Love all the layers. Not colors I would have thought of putting together and that's the fun part of the challenge.

    You rocked this challenge!! I love the Saffron as the predominant color here, and the shading around the edges really showcases the main image so beautifully.
    You are so talented, Jackie, and an inspiration to me with your creativity.
    Many blessings to you and your family in the coming year!!
    Hugs,
    Joanne

    I like how you used mostly saffron and have just hints of the dark colors. I saw your card in the gallery a couple of days ago and after being stumped as to how to go about this challenge, I decided to go with your idea and stick with the mostly saffron on mine. This is a nice use of the Eastern Blooms set.
