Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21

Have any of you paricipated in Dawn McVey's Color Challenges?  Well, I made a quickie card tonight to add to her list of participants!  So, here's my take on Dawn's amazing challenge!  My first!

I want to get this posted now so I'll come back later and edit!

Please forgive the poor photo....had to upload using my Blackberry.

EDIT:  I started with a Lemon Tart base card and stamped in Dark Chocolate a border of Background Basics: Diamonds.  I am so proud of myself!  I actually got it lined up right with just a little help from Miss Dawn herself!    I watched her video on stamping backgrounds today and I must say that I DID learn something from it!  I agree that lining your blocks and stamps with an exsisting line makes it so much easier!  Punching a scalloped border along the center in Aqua Mist and adhering a strip of Dark Chocolate offset the pastel look of that scalloped border.  Now, don't you just LOVE how this flower turned out?!  I was inspired by Mish to go on a hunt for vintage sheet music!  This is actually punched from old elementary clarinet music that I found at my local Goodwill!  I used this vintage (1961 copyright) sheet music as my "cream" color in Dawn's challenge.  Instead of several layers of flowers as the centers, I just punched several circles in various sizes and stitched on a very large Lemon Tart button!  Oh, those buttons!  hehe

Thanks for stopping by!
