Hello and welcome! This week it is all about occasion cards at The Watercooler Wednesday challenge website and Tristan is our talented hostess.
I had some lovely left over alcohol ink scraps that I wanted to use on a background. I trimmed the pieces to a variety of widths and then pieced them together to make a solid background. Blue, aqua and lime is a favorite color combination of mine. My original intent was to cover the background with a circle die cut panel and sentiment, but I thought that looked a little plain so I added some interest with Simon Says Stamp's wonderful Outline Clustered Leaves die. I cut the leaves from some Recollections embossed paper. I like the end result and gave this card to one of my girlfriends.
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Addicted To Stamps - Make Your Mark
Just Us Girls - Dimension.
Southern Girls "Anything Goes"
Happy Little Stampers "Die"

Stunning color! I love you design and all the elements. Nicely done and thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls this week.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful effect of the joined alcohol ink scraps, Karen! So eye-catching behind the green die-cut leaves!
ReplyDeleteI love your use of colours, Karen. The scraps you used from your alcohol ink creations work beautifully together. Adding the die-cut open-work leaves really was a brilliant touch.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love how you used those background strips and bits as your focal point. Very striking.
ReplyDeleteYou got me with the blues!! Thanks for joining the ATSM Challenge this week.
