I'm also playing along with the current Color Throwdown Challenge, using yellow, green, aqua and kraft colors on my card.
I took a bit of "artistic license" with Heather's sketch (hope you don't mind, teamie!) and instead of slanted panels I have flowers at opposing angles.
I started by die cutting all the flower petals, stems and the one center, then ink blending them with various dye inks. The layering is relatively easy and as I ink blended each petal I held up the previous and the next one to make sure there was sufficient contrast. When that was complete, the flowers were adhered close to their centers, then glued to the leaves.
The size of the flowers required making a 5x7 inch card. I trimmed down a panel of white to 4.25 x 6.25 inches, then ink blended two yellows in the middle before adhering the flowers. The panel was layered on two additional layers of thick scrap cardstock then added to the kraft card base. The sentiment was stamped with brown pigment ink then cut out with a circle die and added to the card front with foam tape. I dug through my messy embellishment drawer and found some sequins that matched perfectly for that final touch.
