JUST ADD INK #37

My favourite weekly challenge site, Just Add Ink, has a colour challenge this week, to use the following colours on a papercraft project:



I decided to break out my long-neglected "Tart & Tangy" stamp set, and use a bit of creative licence to colour the cherries and strawberry  Rose Red.  After adding Crystal Effects, the colour looks a bit more like Real Red, but I assure you I used the right colour!

Here's the bright, fruity, card I came up with:

Stamps: Tart & Tangy, Cheep Talk (sentiment)
Card: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Always Artichoke, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Rose Red
DSP: Rose Red and Pumpkin Pie Patterns Designer Series Paper
Ink:  Always Artichoke marker, Pumpkin Pie stampin' pad and marker, Old Olive marker, Rose Red stampin' pad and marker
Other: Scallop Edge border punch, 1 1/4" square punch, 1 3/8" square punch, Old Olive satin ribbon, Sherbet and Playground Designer Series buttons (retired), sponge daubers, stampin' dimensionals, mini glue dots, Crystal Effects
