I made this for today's Colour challenge.... Baja Breeze, Very Vanilla and Kiwi Kiss.
I don't have any of the new in colour inks - so I used my Colorbox fluid chalk inks - used the blue and greens (Ocean Breeze). Stamped the flowers with whisper white onto chocolate chip and then daubed the green, blue and yellow onto flowers. I like the soft look. Stamped itty bitty bg in choc chip around outside on the choc chip. Matted with baja breeze and kiwi kiss. stitched around edges. I stamped the baja breeze cross panel with the grass from Inspired by natured in the chalk green and then again with itty bitty bg in choc chip. Ran it through the bug with the branches folder. Stamped the sentiment in choc chip on a vanilla card stock (non su), inked edges. Main card is 5 x 6 1/2" Added the ribbon and photo corners.
