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.

So creative and cool! Susie, I am enjoying watching you spread your wings and fly!!! I remember you used that stamp a while ago with a white background and I thought; really wonderful! It looks so different with your fantastic sponged colors and your die cut coming up over it. Love your sentiment too! I never would have thought coffin, but with couple of tweaks..... LOL Great tag card!!!

You chose the perfect word for this card - it is "dreamy"! Your subtle sponging adds so much depth and movement to the card. Love how you trimmed the bamboo die cut to direct the eye where you wanted it to go. Very cool and arty tag/card! TFS
