Card Art by Helen

 

This month's color challenge was difficult. Some sketch challenges are also difficult for me unless I already have a specific set in mind. In this challenge I had to use 3 colors:

I started by inking up some flower stamps from the Artistically Inked stamp set using Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather.  I then added a few leaves in Coastal Cabana.  With such light subtle colors I knew I needed to add some darker shades, so I opted for a black card base. I mounted a piece of white cardstock, embossed with the Old World 3D embossing folder, onto the cardbase.  I chose the Thank You sentiment from the stamp set. I fussy cut it and added it to the front of the card with dimensionals.

I added some Highland Heather ribbon for more dimension and some gem embellishments to finish it off! Next, I stamped a few flowers in Flirty Flamingo to the envelope and the inside of the card.

I am trying something new his year and have joined my very first Blog Hop.  I hope to enter several more in the coming year so keep an eye out!  Please leave a comment below if you like my card!  All entries from this hop are from the new Mini Catalog which will run from Jan 4th to June 30th.  I fell in love with the Grassy Grove Bundle the minute I saw it and it's the first set I opened and inked up when I got my hands on it.  I am fortunate enough to be able to watch deer eat and play all year long from my back patio and this set just called out to me.

You will notice in my product list the there was no ink used on this card. It was all designed with only the diecuts.I positioned the deer inside the scene and glued them down with liquid glue.  I also glued a deer to the inside of the card. I often leave the inside of my cards blank so as not to limit it's use.
