I saw the challenge at Just Us Girls on Saturday when they unveiled the color challenge. I do not own anything that reads Apricot ink, but found it does exist, so I used what I had.
I used the SU Fresh Flowers stamp and matching dies. I colored the leaves with Copic markers BG15 and BG13. For the flowers, I used SU Pale Papaya Stampin Blends, which are their alcohol markers. My first coloring smeared the black ink over the flowers, so I saved it by stamping again and popping up the flowers. I guess my ink was not dry before coloring, but the aqua did not smear, so I didn’t notice. I used vellum embossing with a Darice folder. The diamond edge was cut with a die from the Fresh Flowers die set. My cardbase is Sea Glass from Gina K Designs. I think I managed to find close enough apricot and aqua colors.

Great find for apricot. I’m loving aqua colored leaves.
Thank you! I looked in the challenge gallery and saw a butterfly posted. She used the Pale Papaya and I knew I had that, so that is why I used it. I was looking all over trying to figure out the apricot. I do like the leaves also.
You did manage to find the right colors, Lisa! Your card is lovely. Great save by adding your popped up flowers and the vellum panel adds a wonderful touch of elegance. Thanks so much for joining us at Just Us Girls!
Thank you! I liked the colors so really wanted to complete the card.
Stunning card, Lisa. I love the aqua with the touch of apricot flowers. That added vellum embossed layer makes the card look very “dreamy”.
Thank you!
I’m pretty sure this is a winning card Lisa. Everything about it is beautiful. I know what you mean about matching the colours. I do my best but it isn’t easy.
Thank you! Yes, I do not purchase every color out there, so I try to make a close match. It was fun challenge that kept sticking in my head.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Good job matching the colors and the embossed vellum is the perfect touch.
Thank you! I should emboss vellum more often. I saw the idea on Pinterest so I went with it.
Very pretty card with that vellum and those pretty colored flowers. So glad you shared this with us at Just Us Girls!
Thank you! The colors captured my eye and I needed to create.
GORGEOUS! Your embossed and die cut vellum is so soft and pretty behind your beautiful flowers.
Thanks!
Oh, this is beautiful! Love your colors and the vellum. Great job on it.
Thank you! I read all of the comments you left. I appreciate them so much.
