Julie's Color Concoction #21

I don't have to give away my card from JCC20, 'cause no one played along. 

But, I am going to post another one.  The colors for JCC21 are :

1. not quite navy
2. baja breeze (New In Color)
3. garden green

For some reason, I just love blue roses.  Not just on paper, but actual blue roses.  I myself, have only seen the dyed ones, but in 2004 they finally developed a rose that will bloom true blue.  I can only imagine the cost of having one in my home, so I will stamp mine.

The base is NQN, and the bottom corners were rounded.  I added this lovely satin ribbon (it was around a housecoat I bought), since it just seemed to go so nicely.  I ran the baja through the Cuttlebug with the textile embossing folder and then again with the largest scallop rectangle nestie. This was added to the card with dimensionals.

I stamped the rose on white (SU Roses in Winter - retired), by inking the largest one in baja and rolling the edges in NQN.  I stamped it off before putting it on the CS.  I inked the next stamp the same way, but did not stamp it off first.  Then the final stamp was NQN stamped off.  I masked the rose and added the sprigs with garden green, and added the sentiment in NQN.  I rounded the corners of the white and NQN CS and matted them together.  I then added the 3 silver brads and attached it to the card with dimensionals.  I used my 1/4 circle punch with baja CS to get the circles on the base, and added the silver brads on top.

Hope you can play along, you could get this card.  When you upload your card to SCS, use the keyword JCC21, or link it here from your blog.  I will be posting the winner next Saturday.  Be sure to use these colors (or a close substitute), have fun and happy stamping!!

I didn't get to play until last night, so I missed the deadline! But here's my card anyway: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1028786&cat=500&ppuser=41992

so pretty, love your blue rose, I didn't know you could actually grow blue roses, you learn something new everyday :)

[Amy Jacobs]

Do we have to use the exact same colors and stamps? I have never done this before and I want to try it.

Don't worry Julie, we are all busy this time of year. After school starts I'm sure things will settle into better times for all. I've been too busy to stamp new cards but still love to look in at what's up!!

Hi Julie-- I LOOOOVED that card for challenge #20--and I seriously had every intention of doing it--life got busy, so I will participate this time, although I'll have to substitute, No in-colors. :)

I'm sorry no one played along in your last JCC either. I loved the card and would have loved to win it. I will try to do this one with similar colors, as I don't have these colors.

Oh Julie, I'm sorry no-one played along on your last color challenge. :( I want to do this one, but I don't have my new stuff yet. So I don't have the new in colors to participate. I will for sure on the next challenge!!
