Today's color challenge has a lot of wonderful colors to pick from. I chose the starfruit, sky, smokey, & pacific.
we are in the middle of a snow/ice storm & we've lost power twice already and we still have the worst part to come tonight/tomorrow. So I'll try to get thru this while I still can
On a piece of the designer paper, I stamped the Happy Birthday greeting with the chalk ink in a section of the dp that seemed perfect for it. After die cutting on a curve, I also die cut a border section using the reverse side of the same piece of dp. I stamped the sweet branch image w/ the teal ink, added a hint of color & fussy cut it.
On a piece of ivory card stock, I stamped the ODBD honeycomb bg with a combination of the two distress inks & the Memento ink. I added color with Copics in just a few of the honeycombs & sponged the edges with the straw ink. Since the card front was white, I also sponged the edges of it to better coordinate.
Thanks so much for looking! Hopefully I'll have power & be back to comment later. It's also on my blog: The Write Stuff

This is stunning! I love the layers, and the subtle curve with piercing, dividing the card. Every element is executed so well! Into my faves!

I hope by now you are all warm and cozy and the storm has passed, Julie. Your card is a breath of Spring with the softer colors of today's challenge. Love the sprig of berries...is that a die cut? I especially like the paper piercing and that curve.
