This week Dawn found her inspiration colors in the wonderful Coleus plant. Although nature combines these colors beautifully, I found it to be a bit of a challenge to make them work together on a card.
This image I used is called Passion Ticket from Invoke Arts … I think it's a fabulous message to live by every day.
I added the spots & dots embossing folder to the spring moss and deep red layers. I stamped the image again on the spring moss and paper pieced one of the phrases. A thin piece of ribbon and a clear adhesive star gem finish the design.
Make sure you mark your calendar for super-fun week of super sketch funat the Caardvarks Blog September 20th through the 27th. There will be a sketch challenge every day with fabulous prizes from Studio Calico.
You can add this fun blinkie to your sidebar to get the word out.


Love the message you picked for this card. Fabulous job with the color combo!
It’s a good life!
