SOS 428: Use three colors (a picture challenge)

Hello, and happy September!

This fortnight's challenge at Shopping Our Stash is a color challenge!  I love these!

This is the color palette (and beautiful picture):


Here's my card based on the palette.



Supplies:

  • Heidi Swapp stencil from 6 years ago.  Well, this packet was actually sold as laser-cut papers but I've used them as stencils and they've held up rather well!
  • Color Bursts in the following colors: Chartreuse, Wisteria, and Burnt Orange.
  • I used some of Tim Holtz Mini Greenery diecut years ago.
  • The roses were originally white, bought in bulk a few years ago.  I dyed them using orange alcohol ink.
  • I sprayed the entire card using some Tattered Angels shimmering spray acquired years ago from Tuesday Morning,  
  • The sentiment banner was made using a scrap of white paper (off-cut from a card) and brushing it using Finetec Gold.  (If you like to watercolor, I recommend buying Finetec metallic paints!  I use them at least once a week.  At least!)  This was popped up using 3M dimensional adhesive.
  • As a final touch, Nuvo Drops were added.  I may have omitted them in hindsight.  I don't have as good of luck with Nuvo Drops as I used to with Liquid Pearls...
  • Mounted the whole panel onto a scrap of some of Tim Holtz' paper.  I bought this single sheet years ago and it's kind of a nice textured grey.

Thanks for visiting!  Be sure to check out the rest of the Shopping Our Stash crew for some beautiful inspiration.
