A Ginger Snap! PPA 160 Sweet Color Challenge

My submission for the PPA Color Challenge is unuaual for me. I think it is a bit more artistic than I usually create as a result of the double stamping with different inks on Gumball Green cardstock.

Although I had an idea for this card, I did not intend to use so much Gumball Green. However, introducing more Primrose Petals seemed to dull the Sunflower. So, I stamped a bit of the Sunflower in primrose Petals on the inside of the card.

I liked that addition of color.

Do you find it easier to create from a sketch or a color challenge? A sketch seems better for me because it gives me more direction. However, a color challenge is probably better for me because it stretches my creativity.

stamps – Sunflower 128736 wood, 123608 clear, Remembering Your Birthday 131347 wood, 131350 clear

Wow! That is gorgeous! I love how the primrose color on the inside ties with the in-color dahlia on the outside.

I really like how you stamped the sunflower multiple times – it’s a lovely effect!

Wow, Ginger, that is pretty. I love the layered effect of the Sunflower, it’s outstanding! I like your embossing and dahlia too. Thanks for joining us at the Pals Paper Arts this week!
