Some Summer Colors

Well we are almost at the end of our week. The weather has been gorgeous here the past few days and it is supposed to continue with Friday and Saturday being absolutely beautiful. I hope you have some plans to get outside and enjoy it.

Today’s card was rather interesting to create. I used the color challenge from the Our Creative Corner blog. The colors were green, pink, yellow, and brown. I chose to use Chocolate Chip, Garden Green, Pink Passion, and Summer Sun. I then chose my sketch from the challenge on the Card Positioning System blog.
I thought it would be fairly easy to pull this together but I wasn’t sure how it would look until it was finished. I chose to use the Herb Expressions set and I used markers to color the image. I stamped it in the middle and then stamped it again to the right. I colored the image again and stamped it on scrap paper then stamped it to the left of the main image. That made my main image panel that I layered with cardstock of the same colors. I pulled out some of my Chocolate Chip DS paper and layered it on the cardstock to create my bottom layer.
Next I had to create the sentiment layer for the bottom. I pulled out my tag punch (which I just found out is retired, bummer) and then I remembered seeing a card where they had used the vintage label to create a background and decided to use it for the tag punch. I stamped the sentiment in the center and then used the slit punch to create a ribbon slot at each end. I sponged the edges with Chocolate Chip. Now all I had to do was put the card together. Here is the sketch and my creation.
