I'm so excited I got to ink up my new stamps from The Stamp Market. They just released their March stamps, dies and gorgeous new papers (I didn't get to use those yet). I used the Confetti dots in my background with Baby Blue ink on Polar White card stock.
Oh, that leaf die....it's to die for! It's called Botanical Beauty and I am looking forward to working with it again very soon. I also couldn't resist the fun scripty "hi" from the Scallop Frame Die. I cut it from Sand card stock and then sponged on some Espresso Distress ink. I struggled pulling in that brown color for the challenge, so I added it in minimally with the ink blending and some sequins. If you are having trouble using a color for a challenge, my tip is to go small with it. Use it sparingly, save it for an accent with an embellishment or a sentiment. It works for me.
I tucked in the orange for the challenge with the flowers from Dear Friend and the teeny little sentiment strip.
