Today I am going to share a card I have made for JAI #135 challenge. To enter you must use these four colours.
I have used a nifty little idea i discovered while playing around with my Big Shot Edgelits. I used the scalloped edgelit die from the Adorning Accents set. If you rotate the die and line the points up in the center of each scallop you end up with the cute ric rak strip.
Tip: Use a small piece of contact tape to hold die in place before cutting.

| This one is right! Pink Pirouette, Olive Green and Real Red |
The flowers are stamped from Stampin' Up's Betsy's Blossoms and I gave them a two tone look by inking in Pink Pirouette and then using a dauber directly onto the stamp to add some Real Red ((Rose Red first card!)). I used the same technique on the Papillon Potpourri butterfly but added some Green Olive as well. The quote comes from Fabulous Florets.

I hope you like my card and do have a go at making the Ric Rak, its very easy to do with great results.

Dani, this is beautiful - love your scalloped ric rac! Thanks for sharing that clever tip; I'll be sure to give it a try. I would love to see a version of this card using Real Red, if you have it.
OMG! I did't even realize Just looked at the buttons thinking it was rose red. I will try to get one done in the correct colours. So sorry
