Hi everyone! I made this card for Tuesday's color challenge over at Splitcoast. The colors are Wild Wasabi, Almost Amethyst, and So Saffron. I wasn't sure about the color combo so I decided to put it against a white background. I really like these colors against the white.
Here are a few deets on the card: I used my new Unity stamp set called Tiny Trinity. This is one of three trees from the set. (This particular set was only $7.00!!! Can't beat that in today's economy!!) I stamped the trees in Memento Black using the masking technique. They were colored in with Copic markers and I cut out just the center Amethyst tree and popped it up on dimensionals. It was matted on Wild Wasabi and Almost Amethyst. I scored a frame of sorts around the main image with the Scor-Pal. The sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa and punched out with the small oval punch. I added the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware and some brads with a little Wasabi ribbon and the card was complete!
Well, I gotta run, because we are going out of town for the day to go visit my Aunt, cousin and her two little ones...my kids are so excited to see their cousins!! Have a great day!
