I decided to play in this week's Clear Dollar Color Challenge over on PCP. We were to use Bashful Blue, Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and White. We also had to use Clear Dollar Stamps. I decided on the set "Leaf Impressions", and stamped the leaves in the three main colors on white GP cs. I also used Real Red DP, and Bashful Blue, cut all three into strips, ran the red and blue through the bug for texture, and matted on Chocolate (Papertrey). I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip, used my SU! Embosslit and a daisy punch, as well as a MS butterfly punch. I hope this represents the idea of seasons to go along with the sentiment, which is Ecc. 3:1 "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."
These were not easy colors for me to work with but I guess they pulled together OK. I kept wanting to go nautical, but I don't have any CD stamps that are nautical so this is what I came up with. Hope you like it!
Have a great weekend!
