Today folks, my card is for the ColourQ #333 Challenge and this is their colours and inspiration photo
I used, Old Olive, Gumball Green & Cracked Pistachio as I didn't have Always Artichoke or Kiwi Kiss. This is my card.
First I stamped a pattern on a strip of card-stock about two inches wide with stamps from Stampin' Up's 'Botanical Blooms' stamp & die set in the various greens. Next, I stamped some of the leaves from the set and cut them out with the dies. Then I cut a strip of SU green card-stock to make a border between the focal panel and the patterned edge and adhered that with the stamped panel to a white card base.
Finally, I stamped the sentiment on to the focal panel, adhered the leaves, a couple on foam tape and one just flat and mounted the whole thing on to the card base with fun foam.
As always, thank you so much for visiting today. Have a lovely one! Hazel xx
OOH, this is a fab card! Your color match is spot on for this challenge! It is a winner in my book!
