Color Throwdown 103

Tammy and I take turns scaring each other with our color challenges!!!  Even after seeing the beautiful fabric she used as her inspiration:

I was not sure I could pull this off!  I began searching in my DP stash and found some pretty BG Porcelain paper and mounted it on a 6 1/4 x 4 1/4” Certainly Celery card base.  I then inked up my new SU set, Artistic Etchings:

I was moving along at a great pace, happy with what I was stamping, THEN, I realized that when you over-stamp an image previously stamped with Riding Hood Red ink, your newly-inked stamp picks up some of that RHR ink—even if you don’t want it to!  Grrrr!  See that multi-colored “amour” in the top left corner?  Not ‘sposed to be that way!  Oh well, I wasn’t about to redo it, so it’s gonna have to do! I stamped the RHR panel with the retired French Script background stamp and added a fun gingham brad and ribbon in Certainly Celery.  Seriously, I do like this combo---kudos to Tammy for choosing such a nice inspiration piece!
