Remember that you can use any hues of these colors and you'll see that with the gorgeous cards by the other design team members, as well as mine.
I've always found coral to be a bit tricky to create with using inks or alcohol markers. But then Jennifer McGuire came to my rescue in a video earlier this year, using three shades of Altenew inks (listed below). So that's what was used to ink blend all the die cut petals on the flower. (If anybody that has suggestions for coral Copic marker combos that don't look too red, I'd appreciate knowing!)
After the ink blending of both the leaves and flower petals was complete, the flower was assembled, all six layers (!) plus the center pieces. I didn't care for the shape of the top flower center die that was part of the die set so I substituted one from another set.
Both the Betterpress sentiment and the flower center were inked using Altenew Antique Gold pigment ink. Texture was added to the green background with a cover plate die, then a die cut lattice became the landing spot for the peony. Other than fussing with the flower center, this card came together very quickly!
The challenge will remain open until Wednesday April 29th at 3:00 pm EDT. For more inspiration, I encourage you to visit the challenge blog to see all those gorgeous cards created by my amazing teammates and our guest designer Kelly. I hope you'll join us!
