Another Seed Packet Card!

Good morning and Smiley from millan.net!  What a day I had yesterday . . . dentist appointment, sleep appointment with more testing and sorority last night.  Good times for sure!

The other night I sat here in the studio water coloring images and watching television.  Surprisingly enough when I checked in on the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge yesterday one of the images would work perfectly with the colors.

I started putting the card together last night when I came in, but had to wait to finish it this morning.  Of course, I did go with one of my standby layouts . . . I hadn’t checked in on the today’s Sketch Challenge yet.  I’ll be back with that one later.  I already have an idea!  Anyhoo, here’s my card for the Color Challenge.

CC207

The image was colored with various colors of Ranger Distress Reinkers.  The image and bottom layers were then die cut and embossed using Spellbinders Nestabilities.  I am out of SU Pumpkin Pie paper (I only had a small little scrap left), so I substituted Prism papers for the card and used BasicGrey Mellow for the background.

  • Stamps: Stamp Oasis Fantasy Collection - Laughter SKU:35 SO JB from Rubbernecker Stamp Company
  • Paper: Canson Watercolor; Prism Intense Yellow, Intense Orange and Spring Willow Medium; BasicGrey Mellow
  • Ink: Ranger Archival Jet Black and Broken China, Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Old Paper, Mustard Yellow, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Fired Brick Distress Inks

Well the dogs are running down wanting their walk.  I hope you have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

    Love the card. I preordered the inverted nesties and wasn’t sure what I would do with them. Now I know. It looks fantastic.
