Simply Stampin' Challenge 74

Simply Stampin challenge this week is a colour one using pink, coral, olive and vanilla - I don't think I'd have thought of putting pink with the coral myself but then that's what challenges are all about - moving out of the comfort zone sometimes.

I've had to improvise a bit because the only colour I actually had from Stampin' Up was the Old Olive but I did manage to find colours near to the others either in my stash or from the scraps box.  Background paper is from a pad which has lost its cover so no idea of the source, the layers were cut from scraps of card using SU Sizzix framelits dies and stamping was done using the matching Apothecary Art set.  An Edgelits die was used to cut the wavy border and the computer sentiment cut with SU punches.  Flowers were from my oddments boxes with added punched centres and leaves were cut using the Bird on a Branch punch - so useful these leaves.

  3. Definitely an intriguing colour combination with the pink & coral. I love seeing your ingenious ways of getting round the SU colours - superb example in the above. I like the way your floral embellishment echoes the floral pattern of the paper under the sentiment too.
