I am honored to join the IndigoBlu blog today with a reminder post for the current challenge, A Touch of Red. Honestly, red is the color I used least, but I tried pairing it with black and white for a more traditional approach and ended up really happy with the scheme.
I embossed two flowers in black and layered the petals for dimension. For the background I embossed this gorgeous swirl stamp in clear onto a watercolor card, then added a wash of red and a few splatters. To me this as close to CAS as it gets! I'd love to know if you all think this is too simple. Do tell.
My sentiment comes from this beautiful verse, "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33 NIV, I used stickers from Tim's Chitchat collection and outlined them in black watercolor. A final touch was sketching outlines on the sentiment and card border.

No, ma'am, you do not use red often, but yes, ma'am, this is beautiful. I don't believe this is simple at all! There is so much detail, really. Occasionally I'll do a true CAS, but I actually like a little mess in my life... Makes me comfortable :)
WOW, what a beautiful card, Autumn!!!! I, also, don't really work with red a lot, but you have really done great with the red here!!!! Love the wonderful bg for your stunning flower!!!! A beautiful CAS look!!!
Have a great weekend!!!
