Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 6 Orchid Oasis

It's Friday which means it's time for the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. Can you believe it's Week 6 already? This week we are showcasing my favorite color, Orchid Oasis, one of the 2022-2024 In Colors. This week I was inspired by the beautiful Delft Blue China that I remember seeing when I lived in Europe. 
For my design, I chose to use the beautiful Stippled Roses Bundle to create the floral background using Orchid Oasis Classic ink on a piece of Basic White cardstock. The focal image was created using the large floral and I heat embossed it with Clear embossing powder onto Orchid Oasis cardstock to create an elegant tone on tone design. My sentiment features one of the circle dies from the new Everyday Details Dies. I just love how this card design turned out and how it showcases this amazing color.

Today's card design is a wonderful combination of a variety of my favorite techniques. The focal image was created by heat embossing the large floral image onto Orchid Oasis cardstock using Clear embossing powder to create a beautiful tone on tone design. I love the subtle shine the embossing adds to the image. For the background, I used the small floral and the large leaves image to create the background design using Orchid Oasis Classic ink on Basic White cardstock. I added texture to the design using the texture images from the Detailed Dogwood stamp set, stamping off several times to create a lighter more subtle image. I then added some color around the edges using a Blending Brush to add blended color to the background. I layered this background layer onto a layer of Basic White cardstock and then attached it to the Orchid Oasis card base with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Orchid Oasis Classic ink onto a Basic White circle die cut using the new Everyday Details Dies and then layered it onto a Vellum cardstock circle that I die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To add a touch of color to the vellum layer, I gently added some Orchid Oasis Classic ink to the back of the circle using a Blending Brush to give it a hint of blue. I added a piece of the Orchid Oasis Metallic Woven Ribbon behind the sentiment to add some sparkle. I attached the focal image to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added the sentiment label to the lower left corner, also using Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the design, I added several Orchid Oasis Pearls for a touch of bling. I am so happy with how this card design turned out and all the wonderful layers of color that help bring this design to life. Can you see why I love Orchid Oasis? How could you not love this gorgeous color?
