Color Challenge-Card Sketch-Hue of Happiness

I had to do a Color Challenge for a Stamp Camp I was in, I love the colors but wasn’t quite sure about putting them together. The colors were Misty Moonlight, Rich Razzleberry, and Smoky Slate. I decide to use a card sketch to help me design my card.

The card base is Smoky Slate, the layer is Basic White which has been embossed with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder. The Misty Moonlight and the Rich Razzleberry tags were made with the Tailored Tag dies. The circles were from the Layering Circle dies in Basic White and Misty Moonlight cardstock. The roses were stamped and cut from the New Happiness Abound Bundle,. They were colored with the Blender Pens. For the roses, I used Light and Dark Seaside Spray (which have retired) and the Light Misty Moonlight, the leaves were colored with Light and Dark Granny Apple Green. If you would like to see the instructions ….
