Just Add Ink and Stamping 411

I thought that I would have a go at two different challenges this week - a colour challenge from Just Add Ink and my first sketch challenge from Stamping 411. I found using these colours very challenging initially, but am happy with the result. The fun and simple layout is definitely one that I can turn to time and time again.

Here is my card:
Oh, and here is the colour combo and sketch design:

I also tried the tips that Amanda gave in her Photography 101 lesson .... and again I am happy with the result!!! Thanks Amanda .... you can find her lesson here.

Note: On the sage shadow I have stamped in versamark ink with glad wrap ie; scrunched up glad wrap - this has produced a really nice subtle background effect, almost similar to suede, don't you think! and the little flowers with baby pearls were clear embossed so that they would stand out more!

Anyway, hope you all have a great day, and don't forget to check out the stunning designs at Just Add Ink and Stamping 411.
