This week's Simply Stampin' challenge is a colour combo. These are the colours:
Great colours for a Christmas card but I really wanted a break from Christmas stuff so I made a Best Wishes easel card instead. It's been far too long since I inked up the gorgeous Vintage Vogue set, it's one of my favourite stamp sets, I love it! I also used the matching Very Vintage wheel stamp.
My Chocolate Chip easel card base is A6 sized. I used Cherry Cobbler and Wild Wasabi CS as layers for my Very Vanilla stamped panel. I stamped the leafy flourish in Wild Wasabi , some full strength and some stamped off. I used Cherry Cobbler ink for the flowers, I stamped off twice and then rock and rolled in Cherry Cobbler ink. I cut the flowers out, added some shaping and put gold brads in the centres. The sentiment was stamped in Choc Chip ink, I edged the Vanilla panel in Choc Chip ink and added gold brads to the corners. For the bottom of the card I inked the Very Vintage wheel stamp with VersaMark ink followed by Cherry Cobbler ink so that I could heat emboss the image with clear embossing powder. I punched a Lace Ribbon Border from Vanilla CS, cut it in half and attached it to the Cherry Cobbler embossed strip. I added punched Wasabi circles behind the border and then popped the whole strip up to act as the stop for the easel. I added two small flowers to the strip.
I added a Vanilla message panel to the back of the card and stamped the Very Vintage wheel in Cherry Cobbler ink on the front of the envelope to finish off. I really like this colour combo, it's so warm and rich. I hope you play along too as I'd love to come and see what you create!

This is such a pretty card. I love the idea of the decorated sentiment panel.
