sweet pea

The stamp set used here was received as a small prize from JUG’s and is by one of the design team, Lisa Elton. I had been wanting to use it more fully and the challenge at CAS seemed just right as it is a colour challenge. I used Distress Oxides in Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn and Pink Lipstick which are as close as I can get to StampinUp inks. There is one small stamp used from another set by Hampton Arts as it allowed me to add a few longer stems. Basically I randomly stamped the stems and then added the peas in pods and the flowers all on watercolour paper. I added a some additional colour to the peas using an Inktense pencil. The panel was edged using a Spectrum Noir pen in a similar green as Shabby shutters, then added to the note card.

Two CAS cards in one day is a kind of miracle for me. Although my skill has improved it isn’t my go to for card making although I love what others do in this style.

I think this card may make a nice welcome baby card down the road. For now it will be added to my stash. I really appreciate your stopping by and thanks in advance for any comments you may leave. They are enjoyed.
