Blended Bloom

 I have made a blended bloom card using some of my new products that arrived earlier this week. I'm not sure I like the colours I've used but they are growing on me. I tried using the skin tone assortment of the blendabilities on the blended bloom flower which ended up darker than I wanted so I used the colour lifter to lighten it up. The base card is in natural white cardstock with an early espresso mat and another mat in natural white, which I sponged with early espresso and sahara sand inks using the Hearts and Stars decorative mask. I cut out the blended bloom and used dimensionals to mount it on top of a wood grain embossed piece of brushed gold card and natural chevron ribbon. The centre of the bloom is coloured with Old Olive blendies with a few pearls thrown in.
