Terrific challenge today. I thought I would try to use my alcohol inks for this one. I came as close as I could to the colors. I used Tim Holtz butterscotch, lettuce, and stream. At first when I put the ink down on the glossy paper I didn't care for it, but when I cut leaves out of them, I thought it looked great! I curled the ends of my flower petals and layered everything on. I stamped the verse in taken with teal, then summer sun, and finally garden green. I lined it up with my stamp - a - ma - jig. I wanted to give it a layered look, but I wish I had stopped after two colors instead of going with three. I thought the upper right corner needed something so I punched it with my favorite corner punch. Then I layered it onto another layer of white and traced around the top layer with a green, glitter gel pen. In spite of my words being too blurry, I really like how this came out.
Thanks for looking!

GORGEOUS shades of green pn your created paper from which you did leaves and border, Geni. The lacy paper doily and dimensional flower greatly enhance your Scripture.
