Accented Blooms for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge

Time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge!  This week it is a color challenge.

I started off thinking that I would use the Accented Bloom stamp set and do a little coloring.  I got everything out to do that and them my brain went into overdrive and I started thinking about all these other sets to use instead.  After about a hour of that nonsense there was a big mess on my craft table and still nothing made.  I cleaned up everything and set out to make the card I originally had in mind.  Please tell me that I am not the only one who does this.

The image is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Shimmery White card stock. I used Mango Melody and Shaded Spruce Stampin' Blends which will be available in the upcoming Holiday catalog and Pineapple Punch ink refill with a blender pen to color in the image.  

After the image was colored I layered it on Shaded Spruce card stock and then on a piece of Pineapple Punch DSP from the In Color 6" x 6" pack.  This paper pack is available in all the color collections and you have probably noticed that I use it in most of my cards.
