It is Thursday which means it is time for a new Create with Connie and Mary Challenge.  This week the challenge is a color challenge.

The bundle I chose to use for this challenge is the new Irresistible Blooms bundle.  This bundle is part of the Hello, Irresistible Suite Collection in the new Online Exclusives release.  Here is a link to all the products available in the Online Exclusives release.

The card base is Sweet Sorbet CS.  On the Basic Black layer I created the texture using one of the Irresistible Blooms dies.  I cut multiples of the die to cover the entire Basic Black layer.  On the large flower I used Sweet Sorbet ink on Sweet Sorbet CS. The leaves and the smaller flower were stamped using Versamark ink on the colored CS. Why did I use Versamark instead of the coordinating ink?  I am traveling and do not have all my ink pads with me and using Versamark ink mimics the look of the coordinating ink on the colored cardstock.  The flowers and leaves were all cut using the Irresistible Blooms dies.

I really like this new bundle.  There are so many different ways to color the images.  I am looking forward to trying different coloring techniques.  The splatter stamp in this set is also a really good one to have.

In the centers of the flowers and on the banner I added an Iridescent Rhinestone.  The sentiment was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder and then cut out using the Stylish Shapes die.

Inside I added a Basic Black CS strip and another flower and leaf.  This card can be used for lots of different occasions.  There are 5 different sentiments in the Irresistible Blooms stamp set covering many situations.  I am leaving the inside blank until I decide who I am sending this one too. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Connie & Mary design team created for this challenge and be sure to check out all of the new Online Exclusive products,
