Darker Colors

Catherine Pooler Designs (affiliate links used) had a fabulous release this month, and I have a bold beauty to showcase today. 

I started by covering some Ultra Smooth White Cardstock with Samba, Tiki Torch, Grass Skirt Inks, then stamped the Grunge Background Stamp over it with the same color ink-for a fun two-tone texture. From these, I die cut the cool, fun flowers from Be Wild Dies and leaves from the Leave Me in Paradise Dies. I stamped the coordinating images with the Be Wild Stamp Set and Leave Me in Paradise Stamp Set.

I arranged these onto a black cardstock panel that was embossed with the Chevron Divide Cover Plate Die. I trimmed the panel a bit short so I could showcase the card base, that was made by stamping Samba, Tiki Torch, and Orange Twist Inks on to the Grunge Background Stamp and then stamping that over a blend of Tiki Torch. I finished the card with a sentiment created from the Isn't She Lovely Stamp Set and Lovely Word Die.

I usually don't create bold designs such as this, so it was fun to try something "newish" for me!
