Botanicals for you

I was browsing the challenge sites that I like to frequent and found a very bright and cheerful colour challenge at the Paper Players.

Stampin' Up! Botanicals for you

Here’s the challenge graphic. I was amused that the addition of whisper white was mentioned, I don’t see how I could combine these colours without it!

This uses yet another set that you can get for free this quarter during Sale-a-bration, Botanicals for You. I love the huge sentiment; I’d advise getting this in wood mount because that sentiment is really quite large. And I actually used THREE It’s My Party enamel dots. I am certain that’s a first. I was challenging myself at the last crop that I attended to use one of the Home for Christmas enamel dots and I managed it. I’m quite pleased to have used three here!

I stamped the sentiment in tempting turquoise and then three of the largest flowers in real red. I’d been admiring the enamel dots recently and so they were out and although I initially intended to stamp some of the smaller flowers in melon mambo, I decided to use the enamel dots instead. I also added a slim (1/16 inch) mat of melon mambo to make the dots stand out.

See you tomorrow,
