It's All About The Color Red!

For this week's Robyn's Fetish Saturday Challenge, click here!

I am participating in this week's La-La Land Crafts Weekly Wednesday Challenge, where in honor of Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year, the entry's main focal point is RED!  Other colors can be used, but red has to be the primary color.

Below is the card I did for the challenge:

 

Hope I added enough red for the challenge. :)  When I was coming up with the design for the card, I knew I had to use Lotus for my card
The red cardstock is from Bazzil.  The designer paper is from Basic Grey, which I used for the background of the card and Lotus's dress, which I paper pieced.  I used my EK Success punch for the red border, which I embossed with my new Cuttlebug Asian folder Plum Blossoms.  I also did the embossing for Lotus's background, cut with my Nestabilities petitie oval scallop die-cut.  I also added in some of The Robin's Nest red dew drops.

Lotus was colored with the following Copic colors:

Eoo, E35, E37, E57, R20, 100 and the colorless blender

The sentiment is from Hero Arts, inked with Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink and cut with the Nestie petitie oval scallop die-cut.

Thanks for stopping by!



Hugs,
