Sketch AND Colour Challenge In One

I am aiming to make at least one new card (and blog about it) a week.  To help me on this quest, I am now aiming to participate in TGIF challenges as well as Hand Stamped Sentiments (HSS) challenges.
This week, I have combined both challenges into one card. (challenges are pictured at the bottom of the post) 



The colour challenge was Petal Pink, Fresh Fig and Mossy Meadow.  For some reason I have 3 different shades of pale pink cardstock in my shelves so I am thankful to use some of it up!!  I love this card and these colours together! 

I started with a Petal Pink card base and then a second layer which I embossed with the Subtles folder. I then layered a piece of Nature's Poem DSP over a piece of Fresh Fig cardstock. I stamped the large image from Rooted In Nature in Fresh Fig (stamped off once) onto Very Vanilla cardstock and fussy cut it out.  The leaves are both embossed and cut out using the Nature's Roots Framelits. I added some Linen Thread and use Rose Glimmer Paper for the sentiment from the Celebrate You Thinlits.

This card will be quick to recreate now that I have the design so you are likely to see something like it again!

  4. Amazing design! I don't have the Nature's Poem set and am now inspired by your card to get it. The glimmer paper and the nature theme compliment each other. Well done! Thank you for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
