Helping Hudson Colour Challenge #1


I made this card for the colour challenge at Helping Hudson.Now I'm not really a huge fan of the old Rose Red and it seems to haunt me lately, so I have used it minimally on this card (the flowers were stamped in Rose Red and the stems Certainly Celery). I used my aqua painter and Rose Red and Pretty In Pink to colour the flowers.
I have spread a little Crystal Effects on the darker parts of the flowers and sprinkled a little Dazzling Diamonds on it and when that was dry, I coloured the centre of the flowers (over the top of the Diamonds) with Certainly Celery marker (only cos I forgot to colour the flower centres BEFORE putting on the Crystal Effects!) but I really like the effect of it. I absolutely loved this
card and have been waiting for the day where I felt motivated to re-create it - and today was the day!
