Pretty Purple Flowers

 

Annie’s Ink-Lings

 

Today's card was made to enter a Color Challenge at the Paper Players.  This certainly was a challenge for me because it is a combination of colors, yellow, blue, purple, and a neutral, that I normally wouldn't use together.  So I was pleasantly surprised by the finished design and I plan to use this color combination again.  I love taking a challenge and trying something new.

I embossed the blue panel with the Stampin' Up Elegant Dots embossing folder.  Both the blue panel and the purple panel have the corners rounded.  The flowers were made with three sizes of flower punches.  To make the large petals stand out, I sponged a bit of lavender pigment ink on them.  For the flower centers, I used a hole punch on yellow card stock, and topped it with a yellow pearl.  The result was a little border around the pearl, which makes the pearl stand out more.  

See below for measurements and supplies.
