Inky Paws Challenge #149 - Color Challenge

 Hi everyone!  A new Inky Paws Challenge starts today!  It is a Color Challenge.  The colors are Mint, Plum, Lime Green, and Lilac.  You have until Friday, June 4th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!  I guess I was inspired by the succulents in the photo as well as the colors!

To start this card I cut a piece of mint cardstock to 8.5" by 3.5" for my cardbase.  I used the portholes die in the Slimline Frames and Portholes die set to cut another piece of the mint cardstock.  I used the scalloped frame die from the same die set to cut a piece of lilac cardstock.  I used the Mugs stencil with Shaded Lilac Distress Oxide Ink on the scalloped lilac cardstock, then adhered it to my cardbase.  I used foam tape to adhere the mint portholes layer.  

Next, I stamped out the awesome cacti from the Cuppa Cactus stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out with their coordinating die set.  I stamped the wreath and flower images from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out with their coordinating dies as well.  I popped up the cacti with foam tape for some dimension.  

For the sentiment I used the portholes die, from the Slimline Frames and Portholes die set, to cut one porthole so I could use the center for my sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink, and adhered the sentiment circle in the middle porthole on my card.  I then used liquid glue to adhere the wreath and flowers around it.
