Bold, Happy Outlines

This week's Splitcoast Color Challenge (CC219) is a bold combination: Brilliant Blue, Rose Red (or Purely Pomegranate) and Only Orange. It thought it would work beautifully with a retro flair for a teenage girl graduation card. I'm always game for an unconventional card!

Are you familiar with the Rock-N-Roll Technique (Splitcoast Clean and Simple Challenge CAS14)? It's one of my favorites and always a "wow" factor. I first inked the Organic Outlines solid stamp in Rose Red.
Before stamping, I "rocked" and "rolled" the edges in Only Orange. When I stamped the 2-ink image on Whisper White, I had a "sunsety" blend of color--Rose Red for the main portion highlighted with Only Orange tips.
The image was matted on Only Orange card stock and a Brilliant Blue Textured card base (4 1/4" x 5 1/2", scored at the top).
I inked the flower (also Organic Outlines) in Brilliant Blue, stamped on Whisper White and snipped them out with Paper Snips. TIP: Stampin' Up!'s small Paper Snips Scissors (103579) are indispensable for cutting detailed and tiny spaces.
The Brilliant Blue flowers were layered on the main image with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Three Rose Red Brads accent the lower left corner.
Using the "happy for you" sentiment from Organic Outlines, I inked it in Regal Rose and stamped on Whisper White.
It was cropped with a Large Oval Punch and layered on a Scalloped Oval of Textured Regal Rose. TIP: My Scallop Oval Punch is getting quite a work out. It's currently available in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. Need a Mini? Email me your name and address (US only) and I'll send you a free copy.

TIP: With a change of colors, this card would have a whole new, pretty appeal. How about using Kiwi for the main stem and Always Artichoke for the Rock-N-Roll edges? Perfect Plum would be splendid with this combo for the flowers.
