Beate is one of the all time superstars in the papercrafting industry, and after a summer hiatus she is back with a weekly sketch challenge. I combined Beate's sketch with Kristina's colour challenge to come up with this card.
Unfortunately the photo isn't very good because it is raining and overcast here so I couldn't get a good natural light shot.
Here is the sketch I worked with.
And here is Kristina's colour inspiration.
She said we could use any colour of our choice as the accent, but I took the stool as my cue and used Purely Pomegranate. I may have used too much colour, but I tried and tried to stamp a rose in grey and black but it didn't turn out.
I still think that the black and grey are the focus, but the Pomegranate rose and ribbon add a nice pop. The rose is stamped using Maria's fabulous multi-step Kitchen Sink Stamps. I have no idea how she gets them to look so realistic, but they are GREAT!

I totally agree -- that red color does POP off the page -- it's FABULOUS!!
This is lovely! The rose is so beautiful!
very nice color combo.... beautiful card!
I don't think that the red is too much. I think it looks wonderful with the grey roses in the background. It's a great compliment.
