Sometimes I get a mental blank when it comes to colour choice. I look at all my different colours of card, and can't decide what goes together, or what will look good, or how many colours are too many. Such was the case when I was making this card! So, I turned to the Stampin' Up! Colour Wheel, and it did the work for me! I decided I wanted to use Regal Rose to watercolour the girl's dress, so I looked up Regal Rose on the wheel and it directed me to Almost Amethyst and Apricot Appeal as coordinating colours for Regal Rose. I don't think I've ever used Apricot Appeal before, so I was dubious, but I like how the combination turned out!
The stamps are from the Birthday Beauty stamp set, and I've stamped it onto Watercolour paper then watercoloured with inks and Soft Subtles markers. The Regal Rose strip and Amethyst background have been stamped with the Linen background stamp to give the card a textured look. I've also added some Dazzling Diamonds to the girl's dress, as every beauty queen needs bling!
