September Mod Squad challenge

Hi everyone, Leslie Turner and I are hosting this week at the  
Mod Squad challenge! We hope you'll play along!

Our theme this week is Color Inspiration - Fall Colors 
Although we were thinking fall, we wanted bright early fall/late summer colors.  We have provided you with a color palette. 


You may also use any neutral with this color combination.  


1st Sponsor this week is Gina K Designs
 

 Here is my card for this weeks challenge.  

I used these GKD inks for this card, matching the color pallet perfectly.  Tomato Soup, Peach Bellini, Sweet Corn, Jelly Bean Green and Grass Green.  My neutral is Warm Cocoa.   


If you are wondering how I did the texture on the flower wrap, I simply googled, How to make paper look like fabric.  The basket weave design was done with colored pencils. I sponged the background paper with the Sweet Corn and left a white space as I knew that I wanted to put a sentiment there. I also wanted to put some splatters on the background, but I wanted then to be precise.  That is where a stamp came in handy. 
Here are the stamp sets that I used.  
 Tiny Textures- ClearTiny Textures  Stately Flowers 7- CLEARStately Flowers 7 (sentiment /butterflies)
Fill it with Flowers.
Thanks so much for stopping by, if you have any questions about how I did this card, please feel free to ask.  
Love your comments.
