Color Challenge: Basic Pomegranate

Today's Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers is Basic Black, Basic Gray, and Purely Pomegranate. Since those colors are so deep and strong, I wanted to keep the background simple and white. Actually, this card is VERY simple -- just a little bit of stamping and a ribbon embellishment, plus a little sponging and distressing thrown in! All images are from Cornish Heritage Farms. I partially stamped the Cheesecloth Backgrounder in Basic Gray ink. Then I took one of the images from Silhouette Blooms I, inked it in Purely Pomegranate, then rock-n-rolled it in Basic Gray. I stamped three times without reinking, then repeated the process. It gave me little "bundle" of blooms to tie the ribbon around. I distressed the edges with my SU! Cutter Kit, and I sponged with Purely Pomegranate. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black ink. I tied May Arts dotted ribbon and SU! Basic Gray taffeta ribbon around the bottom.

Unfortunately, I've needed way too many sympathy cards lately, and this is the first of a few I need to make this week. I can easily change the colors and sentiment for any occasion, though, so I think I'll be using this layout again! I'm glad you stopped by today -- I hope you have a great day! :)

Until tomorrow,
