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
