The card base is Crisp Cantaloupe, one of the hot-off-the-presses new In Colors. The flower image is stamped with Basic Gray stamped off once, then watercolored with Cantaloupe and Pear Pizzazz. I was really pleased with how it turned out, it looks nice and soft and the sentiment still stands out. It was a nice surprise :)
The color combo is thanks to Inkspirational:
Ok, so it's kind of a liberal interpretation. When I first saw this swatch card, I was thinking Elegant Eggplant, Old Olive, and the retired (but still missed) Peach Parfait, but I ended up with Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz, and Crisp Cantaloupe. I thought the colors I went with were really interesting together.
The sketch is from CAS(E) this Sketch:
Again, kind of a liberal interpretation of the sketch but this time it was accidental. I copied the sketch down on a piece of scratch paper and kind of got the placement a bit off with the image panel more to the right, *and* somehow I got the rounded corner on the wrong side. Well, I tried, anyway!
Hope you have a fantastic day, and thanks for stopping by!

I'm loving the new cantaloupe color! It reminds me a color they had a few years back...can't remember the name, but I loved it, too!!! This is so pretty--your coloring is perfect! Thanks for joining us at Inks! :)
PS: I've got a DT call on at a new challenge I'm starting called House of Cards. If you'd like, it would be great for you to apply! :)
Such a beautiful soft look - I love the gentle look of the flower and I am looking forward to a little Cantaloupe! Thanks for joining us at CAS(E) this Sketch!
