And here is my card:
I was surprised at how quickly this card came together. I pulled out PTI's Garden Variety set and coordinating dies, Memento inks and Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety paper pad and just played. The little seed packet envelope would be perfect to hold a gift card to a green thumb's favorite nursery. I wish my grandmother--our family's green thumb--was still alive. I would have loved to have given her this card.
I've been playing around with my photo light box and adjusting where I place my lamps. This photo turned out better than previous ones I've posted for the last year or so, but I still think the color is a bit muted. Something to work on. At least I've gotten rid of the shadows that used to haunt my photos!
This color combination is my favorite of the bunch. I've always been partial to the cooler tones, so this is right up my alley! Stamps and dies are from PTI.
This color combination is also made up of more cool colors. Flower and sentiments stamps are from PTI. The splatter background stamp is from All Night Media.
Happy July to you! I'm participating in Kristina Werner's and Jennifer McGuire's joint Summer Card Class for the next month. Since I work full time, it's hard for me to get crafting time in during the week, so I make the most of my weekends and try to get a lot of stamping done!
At first glance I thought the color combo was going to be a bit of a challenge for me, but the hard part was actually deciding which stamps to ink! I finally chose PTI's A Day at the Beach set, which I've owned since it first came out but I'd never inked. I also made a couple of other cards using the bonus color combos featured on Friday. I'll be back with a separate post for those.
I was able to use some supplies that I'd had in my stash for awhile for this card, which is always a good feeling!
