After my exciting news earlier I thought I'd better come back and share the card I've made for One Layer Wednesday which is hosted Susan at Simplicity this week ....
....... we have to use the colours aqua , yellow and orange on our OL cards , I can only say these challenges highlight my "not very diverse" stamp collection as I never have the stamps to fit my initial idea so plan b was born .... I'm working on my stamp collection by the way :)
The paper lanterns are a stamp that came with a Scrapagogo kit from last year , I've used colorbox chalk ink to sponge on the colour and then added extra dimension with coloursoft pencils .
The sentiment is from one of my new Papertrey Ink stamp sets ..... love PTI , need 2nd mortgage to ship it here though , lol :)
Thanks for dropping in today , it's been quite an exciting one :)
This is super Jenny.. difficult colours huh!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
