According to my online search, marigold is described as yellow with an overlay of orange. Having said that, please do not stress on getting a perfect match, simply something close in that hue will work just fine.
Please remember to use just purple and marigold, along with any neutrals (nope, not green!).
For my card, I used a couple of new products from Altenew, so I'll be sharing that over at Darnell's NBUS challenge.
And here's my card...
I was tickled that my new Clematis dies would work so well with Marcia's color choices. I die cut the petals and stamen from colored cardstock, then did some ink blending for shading. I was a bit disappointed that the ink dried back as much as it did, but the flowers were already put together so I went with it as is.
Because of the size of the flowers, my card ended up being A6 (4.5" x 6.25"). While I was trying to decide on the background, I had a lightbulb moment, remembering an old MFT Watercolor Wash paper pack, and the lighter purple worked great.
The sentiment is from the new Creative Labels Stamps and Dies. Love the flourished tale on the H! The finishing touch was to add a few Opal gems.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you'll take a moment to pop over to the challenge blog to see the incredible cards from the design team and our wonderful guest designer, Chris. After seeing all that inspiration, I hope you'll decide to join us. The challenge will remain open until Sunday 3/29 at 3pm EDT.
Take care!
