Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Tempting Turquoise, Green Galore and Kraft.
I used Basic Black and Whisper White as neutrals, (which is allowed!) to TONE DOWN the Green Galore on this card. (For some reason, it seems to over-power the Kraft...)
The Bird is from Touch of Nature. I stamped Billy the Bird in Basic Black onto Kraft and then colored in areas with a Tempting Turquoise marker. I cut out Billy the Bird and added Crystal Effects to him to add a dimensional shine.
The flowers are from Artfully Asian. I colored them in with SU! markers and added Crystal Effects to the berries and flowers.
The Kraft panel is stamped in Basic Black and the leaves are colored in with SU! Creamy Caramel marker and an Aqua painter. (I rubbed the marker onto a piece of acetate and then used the aqua painter to "pick up" the ink.)
The Hodgepodge Hardware is colored with a Sharpie and I added dots with a Signo Pen.
The layers are all dotted with SU! Journaler and Signo Pen.
