The Paper Players Colour Challenge

I'm taking a one day break from posting Christmas cards in order to post something for The Paper Players' colour challenge:

 

I needed a card to send a dear elderly family friend who has to move into a retirement residence.

The flowers are heat embossed in white and watercoloured. The background panel was masked, coloured with the same paints, using the green where I wanted the sentiment, then stamped with the sentiment, and die cut with a stitched rectangle.

It's popped up on fun foam and the flowers are partly taped flat and partly popped up with foam tape.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for some mid-month Christmas inspiration for CAS Mix Up!

Supplies:

Stamps - SU Fabulous Florets, Chocolate Baroque sentiment

Ink - Memento Bamboo Leaves, ColorBox Frost White

Paper - watercolour paper, rustic green cs

Size - A2

Accessories - white embossing powder, Gansai Tambi watercolour paints, Lil Inkers stitched rectangle die, foam tape, fun foam

Happy Anniversary to a Beloved Aunt and Uncle

 

My favourite uncle and his wife are celebrating their 60th anniversary this month.  I really wish I could be at the celebration but they live in England and a trip is just not in the budget this year.

I made this card for two of the Dare to Get Dirty challenges over at Splitcoast Stampers.  We're supposed to keep the details of the challenges to ourselves as they are for Fan Club members only.  But here are the links if you're a member and want to play:
