This week LeAnne has a wonderful color challenge for us - Riding Hood Red, River Rock and Always Artichoke. I thought of these colors as being very natural and "woodsy" and created this card with a tree trunk and flowers in mind. I wanted to keep it clean and modern so rolled the flowers without any scallops. I hope you will be patient with my photography. I normally shoot my cards outside, but it is very rainy here in Southern California ( don't believe the song that it never rains:)) so I am shooting inside and struggling to get the correct lighting. The Riding Hood Red looks much deeper in the picture and the River Rock appears much more green than gray. The card is much more subtle in person.
Anywhoo, I can't wait for you to submit your creations using this wonderful color combination. Make sure to visit the each design team member's blog and leave a sweet comment.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool modern take on these colors. They seemed so vintage to me but you've made a modern beauty with the woodgrain background, those gorgeous rolled flowers and the graphic circle element. So different and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a uniquely gorgeous card! I love the subtle colors and that fabulous pop of red. It's a true work of art.
ReplyDeleteTara, these fabulous flowers are SO your signature style! This is crisp, clean and contemporary. It's a trifecta of coolness! ;) The woodgrain background packs a perfect subtle ounch, too. I've said it before and I will say it again...you ROCK! Hope your weekend was great! Big hugs! :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely clean and modern, Tara! Nobody does those flowers better than you. I am going to have to fly out for an afternoon just so you can show me how to make those flowers!
ReplyDeleteThe tree-trunk-like texture is very unique and beautiful! Also the circles are arranged so nicely that make the roses so attractive.
ReplyDeleteYour famous flowers are gorgeous Tara and I love the Clean & Simple card!
