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.
Copic colors used for Mint:
- BG10, BG11, BG32, BG13
Plum:
- RV09, RV17, RV19
Lime Green:
- YG00, YG01, YG13, YG23

For finishing touches on this card I added glitter with a glitter pen, glossy accents, and a few sparkling sequins!
