Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week. Her colors work perfectly for a masculine card, which is exactly what I need. They are Cinnamon Cider, Soft Seafoam and Mossy Meadow. Dessert is something pink, but alas! Pink does not go with a masculine card, so no dessert for me this week. ;-)
I started by squirting alcohol blending solution on a piece of Yupo paper, then dripping three shades of green and one gold alloy alcohol ink on the paper. I used my hand-held blower to move the ink around and blend the colors a bit, and then let it dry. Next, I stamped the three leaf sprigs from "Be Kind," right onto the inked paper and fussy cut them out.
On a separate piece of Soft Seafoam paper I stamped the "You Are" background with Mossy Meadow ink, then inked the edges with the same ink. This panel is 4" x 5-1/4" and it is layered onto a card base of Cinnamon Cider.
The greeting comes from a booklet of stickers. This card is going to a young man who has been struggling a bit with all the Covid restrictions. It is so hard for young people. I especially liked the sentiment strip I chose: "when nothing is sure, everything is possible."
