Bold, Happy Outlines

Stampin up organic outlines
This week's Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC219) is a bold combination:  Brilliant Blue, Rose Red (or Purely Pomegranate) and Only Orange.  It thought it would work beautifully with a retro flair for a teenage girl graduation card.  I'm always game for an unconventional card!
  • Are you familiar with the Rock-N-Roll Technique (Splitcoast Clean and Simple Challenge CAS14)?  It's one of my favorites and always a "wow" factor.  I first inked the Organic Outlines solid stamp in Rose Red. 
  • Before stamping, I "rocked" and "rolled" the edges in Only Orange.  When I stamped the 2-ink image on Whisper White, I had a "sunsety" blend of color–Rose Red for the main portion highlighted with Only Orange tips.
  • The image was matted on Only Orange card stock and a Brilliant Blue Textured card base (4 1/4" x 5 1/2", scored at the top).
  • I inked the flower (also Organic Outlines) in Brilliant Blue, stamped on Whisper White and snipped them out with Paper Snips.  TIP:  Stampin' Up!'s small Paper Snips Scissors (103579) are indispensable for cutting detailed and tiny spaces.  
  • The Brilliant Blue flowers were layered on the main image with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Three Rose Red Brads accent the lower left corner.
  • Using the "happy for you" sentiment from Organic Outlines, I inked it in Regal Rose and stamped on Whisper White.
  • It was cropped with a Large Oval Punch and layered on a Scalloped Oval of Textured Regal Rose.  TIP:  My Scallop Oval Punch is getting quite a work out.  It's currently available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.  Need a Mini?  Email me your name and address (US only) and I'll send you a free copy.
TIP:  With a change of colors, this card would have a whole new, pretty appeal.  How about using Kiwi for the main stem and Always Artichoke for the Rock-N-Roll edges?  Perfect Plum would be splendid with this combo for the flowers.
