My first time playing a challenge! This is the Plums, Artichoke, Sand color challenge. It was fun; I hope I can find time to do more! Thanks for looking.

This is so beautiful! Last night when I made my card for this challenge I thought about using leaves, since I have all my leaf stamps out right now, but then I decided against it - seeing your card i wish I had! I love this! So pretty.
Can I ask a question though? What ink did you use to stamp the linen background? It's so subtle. I've tried to do this before and the ink is always too dark. Did you stamp off first? And did you stamp the green leaves before or after the linen bg? Ok, guess I asked more than ONE questions, sorry! :-)
Great first challenge, hope to see more from you!

Yooperbrat -
I stamped the Linen with Pale Plum - I wanted to try the Sahara Sand, but I don't have that ink pad. I didn't stamp off first - used the Pale Plum because I thought the Perfect Plum would be too dark. I stamped the leaves over the Linen, using Artichoke, stamped off first. Thanks for your kind comments
P.S.- I'm a Michigan gal, too!
