I'm submitting this card for Kristina Werner's Color Challenge #6. She asked to use the following colors from Stampin' Up:
So Saffron, Sahara Sand, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi
And this is what I came up with.
I wanted something shinny so I covered the orange cardstock on the accent with crystal lacquer from Stampin' Up. I used a versamark pen to write the word "Hi!".

well... actually I made it last night ;-). When I saw this baby elephant stamp, I imagined it stamped on white and not much else. But then I decided to add silver satin ribbon to match the silver edge and balance the card a little. Next time I'll put brighter colors on the flower but there was no going back once I used a glitter marker from American Crafts and Souffle yellow marker from Sakura.
For this challenge I decided to use new papers I recently acquired, with matching color ribbons and chip stickers, at my local stamp store. These are from Basic Grey. The chip stickers have strong glue in the back and I realized a bit too late that I didn't center the flower from top to bottom... but I think still looks okay ;-)

I have been wanting to use this big flower stamp from savvy stamps for a while and I thought it will look great stamped in brown (and embossed) over so saffron cardstock. I decided not to add ribbon in order not to take the attention away from the flower. Instead I added a strip of close to cocoa cardstock on the side and used scallop scissors on the right end.
