God's Work of Art

It's so much fun to spend some time each day in my craft room.  :)  Here is today's creation.   

When I saw today's Colour Q challenge I thought it would be perfect for this stamp set.  The colors combine to look like the end of summer to me.  I don't have Soft Sky, it must be a retired color, so I substituted with Pool Party.  I had to add a bit of green (Pear Pizzaz) for the grass and leaves, but I used some So Saffron to the plant leaves to keep it close to the original challenge.



Here is a close up so you can see some of the details.   The coloring was done mostly with a blender pen, but I used an aqua painter for the sky and ground. 

 

The hardest part of this card was figuring out how to add the sentiment.  I ended up stamping the sentiment twice.  First in Pool Party, and then in Chocolate Chip.  I punched that out with the Large Oval punch, then used dimensionals to adhere it to the Pool Party Blossom Punch out.  The blossom leaves were curled using a bone folder. 

What will you create using these colors?  Will you make an outdoor card to celebrate the end of summer?

Creative Blessings,
Heather
