For my take on the challenge I gravitated to the top left and bottom right. Specifically the colors and floral theme. I pulled out the Summer Shadows Stamp Set and Dies to create this light hearted springy card. My colors include Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Seafoam, Sahara Sand, and Polished Pink.
I inked up the floral image with three inks and then dabbed it with a blending brush to soften and harsh ink pad lines and mix the colors. I also used matching Stampin' Blends to splatter the Sahara Sand side of the card. The left side of the card is covered with a pieces of Pansy Petals DSP (retired as of today).
Wow, Elizabeth, I love the look of the blended colors! I totally have to try that with the blending brush how you describe - it came out gorgeous!
