I made a birthday card for my sister-in-law last week which was inspired by the gorgeous colour combination over at Just Add Ink...

There are so many yummy techniques in this card...

For the Vintage Vogue flowers, I inked the flowers in Crumb Cake first, rocked the stamp on the Soft Suede stamp pad, then stamped and cut the flowers out. This gave them a lovely gradiated colour. I used the same Rock and Roll Technique for the Rose Red flower and the sentiment, but that time I inked up in Rose Red first and rocked the stamp on the Soft Suede stamp pad.

The Very Vintage image was wheeled in Early Espresso onto a cut-down Soft Suede Top Note and my stamped flowers glued onto it. It was matted onto a Rose Red Top Note and whole lot put through the Big Shot inside Square Lattice embossing folder. We used this embossing technique in the February workshops.

To finish the card, I daubered all the card stock edges in Crumb Cake and/or Soft Suede, sprayed shimmer mist on the Rose Red flower and Soft Suede card stock, and added pearls and ribbon.

I love this colour combination and the soft, delicate look of this card, with just a touch of shine!
