For our JUGS Color Week Challenge #654 Lisa K. has chosen light blue, orange and brown. I thought this was going to be a hard color combo for me until I looked around Pinterest and saw floral ideas galore! Look at all the variety of ideas the design team came up with too!

My Favorite Things: Harmonious Hibiscus Background stamp, Well, Hello stamp set
Gina K: Charcoal Brown ink pad
Pink Fresh Studio: Diagonal Stitched Rectangle dies
Pink and Main: Enamel dots
Prismacolor pencils
Archival Ink: Cobalt ink pad
Ranger Distress Ink: Carved pumpkin ink pad
Blending brushes
I sat this huge stamp down on my desk facing up and pounced my ink pad on it to ink it well. I placed my white card stock panel face down and rubbed it well all over while carefully holding it in place. I gingerly lifted it off the stamped panel and stopped holding my breath when I saw that I hadn't smeared or moved it while rubbing. I ink blended orange and blue inks in the middle of the flowers, then added pencil for shading. I decided to color in the background (wouldn't do that again) and I shaded areas to try to get some shadow effect.
I matted the completed panel with dark brown card stock, then mounted it onto a blue A2 card base. I added enamel dots and a double matted die cut banner with the sentiment stamped on top.
We hope you will play along with us this week with this fall color combo!

This is stunning! I love that background stamp and how you used this week's colors to make a gorgeous card! The sentiment on the layered banner strips is perfect to not take away from that background.
Carol... one word, gorgeous! I think the effort you put into coloring the background was soooo worth it!

Carol, your card took my breath away! This stamp was a brilliant choice for this color combo and your delicate coloring of the flowers is remarkable. While it may have been a pain to do lol, I think coloring the background gave so much depth overall. Well done, my friend!
