A Dakota Card

I had a big challenge trying to combine today's challenges, but I think it turned out great. Here is what I had to work with:

Less is More: CAS with earth tones
Crazy for Challenges: Red, White and Blue
Our Creative Corner: Homemade flowers with Hand-dyed ribbon
Retro Sketches: an old sketch that I made this card with (it's the second one in the post)

Here's what I came up with:

I minimized the layers a bit to give it some white space. I used Barn Red ink for the red, but an earthier red - almost brown. I dyed my seam binding ribbon with a barn red alcohol marker. My flowers were made using the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, and sponged with Barn Red ink. I think they look like thistles.

Here is the sketch and color challenge:


Materials used:
Cardstock: Colonial White
B&Ts: Dakota
Stamps: Avonlea WOTG
Ink: Barn Red
Other: Color Ready Seam Binding Ribbon, Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge
