This card was made for another challenge a little while ago - again I missed the deadline because of computer problems but that was OK cos it was a REAL challenge for me! The colours from memory were Soft Suede, Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke. I had no end of trouble trying to combine these colours so they looked half decent. I think it was the combo of three fairly strong colours that threw me but good I could use some Vanilla in there!I stamped the flower twice, coloured them both and then cut out just the flowers from one image and offset it on top of the other with Silicone. As I wanted to use the sheer ribbon, I coloured some white with an Always Artichoke marker but it did not turn out a true Artichoke colour as I wanted.
Stamps: JustRite Stampers and Stampin' Up!
Card: SU Always Artichoke, Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla, Autumn Traditions DSP
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Other: Martha Stewart border punch, SU oval punches and Top Note die, rhinestones from my stash, Copic Markers, tiny bit of glitter on the flowers.

Is the flower a hydrangea? They are my favourite flower. It looks like yours took a lot of cutting out work! Worth it though! -its super pretty!
Lovely card Jean. I love that zig zag punch.
Your card is beautiful and you did a great job with the colors, love how you did the flower.
Jean, I really love all the cards that you are posting in your blog. I find all those cards very gorgeous. I wish I can also make cards like those.
