Today I joined the Just Add Ink Colour Challenge.
These were the colours I could use:
I've always liked Garden Green,
usually on Christmas cards.
Using it as a feature colour with neutrals
was a little more tricky!
It's windy here today,
and a bird's nest fell in our garden,
inspiring me to use one of my
favourite sets, Nature Walk,
and feature the bird.
I embossed the background using Finial Press,
first rubbing Crumb Cake ink on the folder.
(I will miss this folder so much when it retires in two weeks!)

| Actually this is a soft little nest that fell another day, that I kept. Today's one is quite large and has some orange rope woven in! |
I also used stamps from Elements of Style and Teeny Tiny Sentiments.
Inside is a greeting, this card will be for Dad.
Thanks for visiting!
This is beautiful Fiona! So many fabulous inky effects on this - my fav's are the inked embossing and green touches on the bird. Thanks for the lovely comment and for joning us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteI really like Garden Green too - and I like how you have added the layers and sentiment. Chantell JAI
ReplyDeleteFiona, your card is gorgeous! I love the sentiment tag, the inked and embossed background, the bird perched on top of a Framelits die cut, and the use of the eggs from the stamp set. Great job with the challenge colours! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week :)
