I made this card for 2 challenges: ABC, letter Q (it may be a stretch but Q is for "Quietly") and Misti Monday July 2020: Not an A2.
I stamped my images and sentiment onto a white and teal piece of card stock using my Misti stamp positioner. I used a stencil and blending brush for the background of each piece. I should have masked my crane because he ended up striped. So I stamped and fussy cut another crane, which I popped up with 3D adhesive dots over the original crane image. I added some water color highlights to the crane.
I also brushed some additional color onto my cs panels, then, I glued the panels together and onto the dark teal panel and a light teal card. I die cut some leaves, adding a light teal strip of cs and enamel dots along the top of the card.

Beautiful blended colors, Judy. I'm glad you fixed the crane....he would not have looked right with embossed lines. I love this card with the touch of greenery and dots in the corner and birds in the air~

This is lovely, Gracie. I like the soft stenciling in the background. As I was reading your description, I scrolled back up to see the crane with stripes. He looked good to me, then I scrolled back down to read the rest...lol! Lovely and soothing!

Such a lovely card Gracie. I love the soft stencilling on the BG and your crane does look as though he’s waiting for some action to happen. TFS. Happy day
