I made this card to meet 3 challenges this week - the Color Throwdown #55 to use Black, White, Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Kraft; the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge #28 to use scoring; and the SCS#241 sketch challenge. I wasn't sure about these colors but as I started creating, I found they worked beautifully together. I stamped the Flourishes Poppy image on white with Versamark and embossed it with clear ep. I colored it with Tombows, adding FlowerSoft and black stickles to the center. The black panels are matted with Kraft and scored diagonally. It was really difficult to capture the scoring on black, but if you click the picture you might be able to see it better. I scored in different directions for added interest. The sentiment is by SU! and colored with Tombows before stamping. The Bling was in my stash.Thanks for all the great challenges ladies, and thanks for stopping by to visit me today :)
