This weeks challenge at
Play Date Cafe is to use soft blue, beige and a minty green.
This is what I came up with. The card base is a mint green and the layer on top is sand beige. I stamped in a very light green distress ink the Lace Background. The sentiment is stamped in Tumbled Glass ( looks much better and clearer in real life)The circle is the Starry Night stamp clear embossed onto a piece of card that was coloured with Tumbled Glass and Broken China. I used some glitter in white and green to add sparkle to the trees. I added some pale blue ribbon and a snowflake coloured with Aqua alcohol ink with a pale green pearl in the centre. I added a few small pearls as well to the circle.
These are not colours I would normally use, so this was a challenge to me. I was surprised I even found a mint green piece of card in my stash.
I am having a bit of a crafty afternoon while waiting to head off to see "Simply Red" perform. Part of hubby's birthday present. The concert starts at 7.00 so we will head off and have something to eat in town before going.
Thanks for stopping by.
