I'm going to be honest, I had no idea what to do with these colours. Using orange tones for me is akin to using Cajun Craze, I just don't lol.

So I decided to try using the colours very subtley. Using Blessing from Home I stamped the flowers onto my Very Vanilla layer in Basic Gray and heat set it hoping that it wouldn't blur later. I added watercolor pencils in the challenge colours ever so lightly, gradually getting darker where needed and I used a Blender Pen to work them around. I added a bit of sparkle to the flowers which you can't see very well but hopefully you can make out in my extreme closeup below.

To contrast the Very Vanilla I went with a Basic Gray base and embossed layer, adding the simplest of ribbon in between layers. The sentiment was stamped in Memento and the finishing touches were the gold embellishments. The colours of the flowers look darker in real life, very hard to photograph. If I had to do the card over or CASE it I'd probably use inks instead of the pencils to get a better end result.
