A garden-full of pink roses is what this card reminds me of. Chocolate Chip to represent the earth, the Wasabi Green for the grass and leaves, and pink for the pink roses. Spring is just around the corner!
My Tuesday Tip: Use Stampin' Pastels on dry embossed words or images to make them "pop".
The "feel better" really stands out on this card after being chalked. You may want to spray the chalked area with a fixative to prevent smearing of chalk.
The flowers are stamped with the "2-step stamping technique". You can find other 2-step stampin' sets in our IB&C - look for the little circle with "2" in it next to any stamp sets that can be used with the 2-step technique. In case you may not be familiar with two-step stamping, it consists of stamping a line image (outie) and a solid image (innie) on top of each other in order to show an outline and a "colored in" part of the image. The 2 steps usually are done in two shades of the same color & is very effective at giving a very soft, feathery image, as in flower petals and leaves.
I also have adhered three of the "latte" designer buttons. Have you used any of the designer buttons? Here is a link to another project that you can make using the designer buttons in a different color grouping called "playground".
These designer buttons add such charm to a project - the various colors coordinate with Stampin' Up's regular card stock and inks! Look for them on page 181 of the IB&C!
