Tiger Lilies

Orange Green and Gold Challenge


It's Thursday and that means it's time for a new Design Team 

inspiration card for you

 (and a chance to get a sneak peek at one of the newest releases 

available later this month from Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps).

  


Color Challenge

Let's have fun with colors. Each week we will pick a color or colors for you to use on a card or other paper craft. Thrifty Stamper and her team will inspire you to use colors you may have not thought about using before. 
Challenge Winner Guidelines
We encourage you to participate in all of our challenges, we would like to ask you to limit your submissions to 5 per challenge, per week. Each submission needs to be a new card (no cards that have been posted prior to the challenge date). Please do not submit the same card for every challenge, each submission should be a different card for each submission and each  challenge.


 This A2 card was made with a moss green base 5 1/2 x 4 1/4".  The designer paper was cut to 4" x 5 1/4".  The gold - 3 1/2" x 5" and the burnt orange 4 3/4" x 3 1/4".  All but the base were taped with an ATG and the gold ribbon added randomly at the bottom of the panels.  Then attach them all to the card base with foam tape for some added dimension.


The tiger lilies (one of the newest stamps sets being released this month)  were stamped with ColorBox Black Archival and colored with Sharpie Markers
 (per the great tutorial I found on Thrifty's Column which you can see here).
                                   
                                            



Tiger Lily 2014 Stamp Set available soon!!!

  The flowers were fussy cut 


 And attached to the card with foam tape

I had planned on using a sentiment in the bottom corner, but found this gold finding in my stash and decided it needed a little more gold.
 I liked the card like this, but decided to add some flower soft to the stamen of each flower, 
 (which you can also buy at Mark's Finest Papers and Stamps)
