This is the first card I have made that will work for 3 challenges...and it is my third for the Colour Challenge, which does surprise me as I found it so hard to find anything in the way of grey....MIND YOU I have to add at this point that I had run out of grey, so had to rely on water colour pens for the grey factor - it is minimal, but it is there!
The actual cardstock is sponged, for something different, the birdhouse is stamped onto watercolour papers and coloured with an Aqua Pen. I have used dimensional magic on the plant pot to give it the appearance of a glazed pot. The sentiment is raised on 3D foam tape, to make it stand out. The floral squares are from a piece of wallpaper I have kept for years, inspite of being 'encouraged' to clean out some of my rubbish....I am very happy with it on this card - what do you think!?!?
I might just mention that i borrowed this stamp from a neighbour, who had it from the '80's and never uses it as it is outdated....I think it is so cute and not outdated at all - don't you!?!?
Thanks for looking and for your encouragement - it means so much!!!

Hello my friend! Awesome job here combining all those challenges. I can't believe that those gorgeous little squares are wallpaper. Only you can come up with this wonderful ideas. I don't think that the stamp is outdated at all, but maybe you should tell your neighbor that it is very, very outdated and that she should give it to you. LOL! You will take good care of it I'm sure and give it more use that's for sure. Well, I'll be gone from the gallery for a little while since my DH is back for the weekend. I'll be back in the gallery I think Monday.
