Slowly built up colours using ink sponge, then stamped the rectangle squigly acrylic stamp with TH Black Soot ink. To meet the colour challenge I used a copic marker to add the primrose colour. I hope this is enough colour to qualify for the challenge.
The bamboo is die cut using kids craft foam. The words say...If you do nothing unexpected, nothing unexpected will ever happen. Unfortunately I purchased it second hand and no brand was written on it.
I am not a very good photographer, the colours are quite true in real life and the shape here looks like a coffin, but in fact it is a rectangle.
Thank you for a great challenge Sallie and thanks for looking.

Brilliant my friend... love the tag being a card and your sponging and use of challenge colors rocks! The creative way that you laid out your sentiment ROCKS (as does the sentiment itself)! You are becoming a master with that kids craft foam...what amazing ways you have used it! I agree with the above... you possess a wonderful artistic talent!
