I Baked it Best!!!!

Woohoo! I co-won the "I Baked it Best" award over at Catered Crop with my Birthday Berries card (seen here) so the challenge owner Linda McClain has asked me and my co-winner Lynne to join her today for a post using the newest challenge.

This week's recipe is: (or click here)

• Colors – red, white, green; blue, gray, kraft

For my creation, I used the green items from this week's challenge. And here's the card I created...

Welcome Homesupplies: cardstock, Bazzill, Gina K. Designs; pattered papers, Echo Park, My Mind's Eye; stamps, Flourishes; die cut shapes, Spellbinders; lace, gems, KaiserCraft; ink, Copic, Memento, Ranger; pin, Little Yellow Bicycle; edge punch, Fiskars; corner rounder, EK Success; other, thread.

To create my focal image, I stamped my Flourishes Ranunculus flower from the new "Sweet Nature" stamp set using tuxedo black Memento ink and then I created a mask and used my Copic air brush and air brushed around the flower with several shades of cool grey.
