It's a color challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary! I have to be honest, this was a BIG challenge for me this week - I struggled with this combination!
I tried several different ideas before deciding on this card. It's funny how some color combinations are so simple and other's are not. I guess that's what challenges are all about, right?!
I began with the Flowering Flourish and sentiment in Early Espresso. Then I stamped the flowers using the 2-step stamp set Stippled Blossoms in Summer Starfruit and Island Indigo.
Next, the lace embossing folder along the bottom adds just a bit of daintyness to the bold colors of the card. Finally, I used the Itty Bitty circle punch on the bottom left of the card fold to thread the Summer Starfruit ribbon thru.

Your card is so striking! The espresso flourishes and leaves truly ground your flowers and really make them pop! Great details with the embossing folder and ribbon (I forget about doing that!.. I need to remember, lol!)
Melissa you had me with the fan detailing at the bottom or your fabulous card. Very romantic! The combination of the roses and flourishes make this card just rock! TFS your awesome talents.
I'm loving the stamped background image layered with the flower elements. So elegant!
Oh my goodness! This card is beautiful! I love how you used the flourish behind the flowers to add to the "viney" look. Great card!
