Kristina’s Color Challenge #34

December 11th, 2008

A dear friend’s father passed away and I was struggling mightily to make a card for her.  I’m so glad that Kristina posted her color challenge in these soothing colors because it really helped me put this together.

I’m going to call my Dad today — miss him.

Supplies:  Stamp and gemstones by Hero Arts.  Silk ribbon by Creative Impressions. Cardstock by Bazzill.  (The pale purple is actually one of their shimmery papers — hard to photo!)  I rolled the edges of the flowers up with my fingers and used pop dots to adhere them to the card. Prismacolor pencils.
