Kristina's Color Inspiration Challenge #34 comes from a photo taken at Purl Studio in New York ... so soft and rich.
I love the colors, but for some reason, I struggled with working celery into the mix of my design. I love looking at what everyone else does with the colors, and then I usually have several "aha" moments about what I could have done with my card.
My pale plum layer was stamped several times with the Vine Flourish stamp from Inkadinkado. I used my Cuttlebug Just My Type embossing border to add some buttons to the sage shadow layer.
The border is from Martha Stewart & the tiny sentiment is from the Hero Arts Sparkle Clear Home set. The finished card is slightly larger than 4" square.
On a happy note, my beloved Rebel camera has returned from its overnight stay at the camera hospital as good as new (just some dust specs on the digital sensor). So glad to have it back home.
How pretty! I just love your martha stewart border.
