Inspired by Dawn's color challenge, so I created this card. At first, it seemed impossible. I decided to use the colors in minimal ways as opposed to bold versions. I did not have soft stone, so I used SU! going gray, which is almost the same color. Looking at the card, you may think that the pink and green are not raspberry fizz and new leaf, but they are. I colored the stamp in using those inks and my blender pen, which is how I achieved a softer hue of those shades.

Very pretty Ashley! I need to invest in a few blender pens- I've read they make a nice watercolor effect.
Very pretty! I love the elegant design!
