Hi All! Welcome to our next Sunday Stamps color challenge. Chinese New Year commenced on January 25, and according to the interwebz, "The cherry and plum blossoms have a special significance to the Chinese. The trees are the first to bloom even as snow is melting after a harsh winter. They represent the promise of spring and a renewal of life."1
My card has both Real Red and Basic Black, as a nod to the Chinese New Year, and this is also a clean & simple card to put together for our downline meeting this month. I pulled in Come Sail Away DSP to simulate a blue sky background (I love that this masculine paper worked pretty well).
Here's this week's colors; use a minimum of 3 colors and a neutral of your choice. This card uses Freshly Made Sketches #417.
Stamps: Forever Blossoms; Paper: Real Red, Basic Black, Whisper White, Come Sail Away DSP; Ink: Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Basic Black, Versamark; Accessories: Rhinestone Jewels, White Embossing Powder, Aquapainter, e-cutter.
