It is really rare for me to combine challenges, and I can't believe I actually got in FOUR of them with this card:
This week's sketch, SC 529
CAS313, Think Spring
WT520, Monochromatic/Green
F4A262, Get Krafty
This card is for my great-nephew's birthday. I used some old SU paper that you sponge color on. Can't recall the name, but that's how I did the green panel. Used the direct to rubber and thumping technique to do the tree and leaves. Used a stencil and three shades of ink for the green area, then covered in a sort of random pattern with my new toy, Golden Glass Bead Gel. I didn't get quite the result I was looking for with the gel--it doesn't cover the same way embossing paste does--but I am pleased with the effect I got on this card.
