Cool Mustard - not the food

I love how this card came together.  I find that black CS really makes the other colors *POP*!  All products are Stampin' UP! unless other wise noted.  The other CS was cool carribean, more mustard, and cranberry crisp.

I stamped the print pattern on the carribean with tempting turquoise and sponged the edges the same, matting it on the black.  I stamped linen in burgundy on the cranberry, did faux paper piercing with my mat pack, sponged the edges, added the sentiment from Carte Postale, and layered on the black.  I punched my scallop circle following my tutorial HERE, and layered on a sponged mustard piece.

I stamped the flower onto watercolor paper and watercolored it with burgundy ink and an aqua painter.  I used mustard ink for the center, and old olive was colored onto flower petals to make leaves that I cut out.  Then it was all popped up, with dimensionals, on the circle.

I thought these colors looked so retro, but when it came together, I found it rather elegant.  Hope you like it, too.  Have fun and happy stamping!!

I marvel at the ways stampers can come up ideas to "make do". Your idea with the corner rounder and your tutorial are super. I have the scallope punches and I can not find a plain round circle punch that will fit. I don't have a circle cutter. But after reading your idea, I remembered using the bottom of a glass to make circles! WhaaLaa a circle for my scallop punch! , Your card is so pretty! I will most likely be "casing it" TFS~~Jan
