Coral, brown, and tan


Beautiful colors this week at CR84FN!  Coral is one of my favorite colors to wear, but I almost always pair it up with white - after playing with the browns and tans, I just may add them to my wardrobe, also.  Here's my card, using a previously stamped panel, done in tans and browns with a tiny bit of green.   The Doily was stamped and heat embossed, then the other elements were stamped over and around it to make my panel.   I just had to make the flower and the sentiment, and I was finished!


supplies: brown, tan and coral cardstock, Lawn Fawn Bright Side coral patterned paper,  Hero Arts CG168 Circle Doily, CL383 Antique Engravings, LL040 Woodland Ferns, H2141 Manuscript Background, CL491 Made with Love, Palette Burnt Umber ink, PTI Beautiful Blooms II #1, Basic Grey brad,
