It seems like time just flies by, despite the restrictions. Already Color Hues is up with the sixth challenge; this time Pink and Brown.
The design of this card is based on several cards I’ve seen in blog land, and it turned out better than I expected! I think it might be called a spotlight design.
I started by stamping one of the outline flowers from Simon Says “Delicate Flowers” set in brown on white cardstock. Then I stamped one of them on another piece of paper, and colored it with Copic markers.
To assemble the card, I pulled out two favorite dies: Essentials By Ellen: Squares, and the Gina K Master Layouts: 1. The square dies cut the interior and also a narrow frame, so I die cut the floral image, and cut a second one from Lovely Lady (PTI) cardstock. I used the Master Layout dies to cut out the larger floral image and a narrow frame for that as well.
The sentiment from Sugar Pea’s “Everyday Sentiments” was embossed in white on brown cardstock. These were all layered as you see above, and then finally added to a Dark Chocolate (PTI) card base. No embellishment needed!

Beautiful card. I am discovering that brown is such a versatile base colour, both in crafting & wardrobe.
I think it’s really clever! Reminds me of the posh wallpaper you might find in an upmarket hotel. The pink and brown combo really works. Beautiful.
So pretty. Love how the layering works together with this stamp set.
Beautiful. Love your coloring of the pretty flower and the great stamped background.
This is BREATHTAKING!! I love the spotlight technique that you used. Your coloring is gorgeous.
This is a gorgeous card and using one of my favorite techniques! YOur coloring is perfect! Love that you brought the brown back around with the sentiment strip. Well done!
Such a pretty design Karen, love the spotlight technique too. Great use of the color combo too. 🙂
