Raise The Bar Challenge #7

Happy Friday Everyone!!

It's time again for our Raise The Bar Challenge!  Today we're playing with "3's Company" ... no, not the TV show starring John Ritter ... but instead we are using groups of 3 on our creations!  i.e.  3 ribbons, 3 dps, etc.

For my creation I have used 3 different base papers and 3 flower groups.  My image is another beauty from Art Creations Friday.  It is actually a sepia toned image but I have added color using the ZIG photo twin markers then based my card colors around it.

All items used on this creation are as follows:

Stamps:  Endless Creations Inc.

Papers:  Chatterbox designer paper, old olive, whisper white, rose red, Basic Grey "sugared" designer paper

Inks:  Versafine black

Accessories:  ZIG photo twin markers, Art Creations Friday, Prima flowers, Kaiser half pearls, Wright vintage lace, Martha Stewart border punch, gold Pilot marker.
