A Clean Duo

I love last years new In Color Pool Party. It is very versatile and a very clean subtle color. I used Pool Party and So Saffron as they were the Dynamic Duo colors for challenge #2 this week. I also used the sketch at Clean & Simple.

 




Part of Dynamic Duo is that you use the 2 colors plus any neutral colors. To add more depth to this card, I embossed it using the Petals a Plenty embossing folder with Whisper White cardstock. Then, I took a sponge and gently went over the raised embossing with So Saffron ink. This is such an easy technique to give a lot of depth to a normal pieced of embossed paper. To give it some "oomph" I also spritzed Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz on it.  (I love this stuff)  

Ingredients: {Paper} Pool Party, So Saffron, Whisper White {Ink} So Saffron, Versamark {Stamp} Happiest Birthday Wishes, Mixed Bunch {Extras} Petals a Plenty embossing folder, Blossom punch, sponges
