Coral Blooms

I have never played along with any of the challenges at The Card Concept, and I’ve liked so many of them.  I finally got to join in this week, and I love the colors in the inspiration photo.

Calypso Coral and Pool Party are two of my favorite colors with which to work.  I have to stop myself from using them all of the time.

I pulled out Bloom with Hope, a hostess set, for my card as the flowers in this set resemble those in the inspiration picture.  Plus, I have barely used this set before, so it needed some ink.

I’d say that this card would fit in with the Clean and Layered style.  However, I think it could also be called a Freestyle Collage style.

Coral BloomsI started by selectively inking the Positively Chevron background stamp with some Versamark ink, and then embossed it with clear embossing powder.  Then I punched out a couple of circles from dsp.  I watercolored the focal image with an aquapainter,
