Urban Get Well
I really must have nothing else to do. This is my second post today – but as I said it has been raining a lot. This card combines two challenges, the sketch from Just Add Ink and the colour combo from The Colour Dare weekly challenge.
The sketch was really lovely to work with and I love the colours, Basic Gray, Baja Breeze, Pacific Point and Kiwi Kiss. I started with a base card 4 1/4″ square using Basic Gray card. I added a piece of Urban Garden DSP in Pacific Point and also added a piece of Baja Breeze card. I stamped “Get Well Soon” from the Sincere Salutations stampset using Basic Gray ink. The 1/2 circle was cut using my fabulous Circle Scissors (love them). I stamped the branch image from Thoughts and Prayers using Kiwi Kiss ink onto Very Vanilla card. I punched the flowers from Baja Breeze card using the Trio Flower Punch. I layered the flowers over the flower image on the stamp and then added vanilla mini 1/2 pearls from the Pretties Kit. A couple are popped up with dimensionals as well. I wrapped the Kiwi Kiss satin ribbon and tied a knot before layering onto the Basic Gray card.
I am having so much fun playing along with these challenges. It has made me push myself to come up with my own original designs, something I need to work on a lot more. Why don’t you give it a try. It’s amazing how many different ways there are to use the same sketch and colours.
If there is anything I can help you with or you would like to purchase anything that I have shown you, please do not hesitate to contact me, k.mcintosh1@optusnet.com.au.
I will try and come back later with some 6 x 6″ scrap pages I have done recently.
Bye for now, Kris.
Hi Kris. This is gorgeous! I love how you’ve placed the branch inside the circle, it’s balanced so beautifully. The half pearls are an elegant touch too. Thanks for playing!
