Watercooler Wednesday Challenges #68

This week at Watercooler Wednesday Challenges, Libby is hosting a color challenge.  The 2014-2016 In Colors will be retiring at the end of May so she challenged us to use three of the five colors.  I managed to use four of them.

My card base is made from Hello Honey card stock.  On Whisper White, I stamped the images from the April Paper Pumpkin All About Everything stamp set.  In that kit they included a second stamp set and this is it.  It's a flower stamp set and I'm so excited!  I love flowers.  I'm sure you couldn't tell that from the projects I've been making lately.  I'm blaming it on the fact that Spring is in the air.

The flowers are stamped in Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey inks.  The Hello Honey is stamped off to make it just a wee bit lighter.  The leaves are all stamped in Mossy Meadow ink but the fern fronds are stamped off for a lighter look.  They are hard to see but there is cluster image on the card that I stamped using Smoky Slate ink.  The banner is stamped using Lost Lagoon for the background, again stamped off for a softer look.  I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink.  Behind the banner, I coiled some of that pretty Gold Cording.


For all the challenge details and to share your project, visit Watercooler Wednesday Challenges.  We'd love to have you join us.

  2. love, Love, LOVE your card Marsha! I really like this PP stamp set too - I have yet to use the all flower parts to create a beautiful card like this. I really should! I also like the skewed DSP under you focal image. Great idea!
