This card was a journey. I selected palette 120 from the Color Cube Volume 1 and used the matching Ohuhu Alcohol Markers to color my white cardstock. In addition to the palette colors I used browns and greys as neutrals. But I really didn’t like the outcome.
That was a surprise to me, because in the past I’ve loved the cards I’ve created with the Color Cube. I figured out that it was the blue I didn’t like. It was a royal blue and it seemed to grab all the attention. I used that blue for the awning and the main body of the cart. When I replaced them with two turquoise shades, I was much happier with the result. This was actually the second card I made with the flower cart. But I really didn’t like the first one. Again it was the colors I didn’t like. This is actually the same composition as the first card.
If you look carefully, you can see the royal blue under the pretty turquoise.
I placed my flower cart on the Embossing Folder of the Month for February 2025. It’s called Basket Wave. It looked a bit plain on its own, so I ink blended the edges with Pinkfresh Waterfall Ink. I also added some Pink and Berry Color Essential Gems to the centers of some flowers.
