“Update” – It’s a Top 3 Pick with Connie & Mary Color Challenge Card CCMC373

So this is my first Challenge Card with createwithconnieandmary.com The color challenge was Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow and Soft Suede. Using those ink colors and the Vintage Leaves set, I stamped on watercolor paper, used my Aqua Painter and inks to fill in the leaves. I stamped tone on tone for the three leaves and cut out with Leaflets Framelits Dies and my Big Shot. These were attached to the watercolor paper using dimensionals. I distressed the edge of the water color paper with Mossy Meadow and I distressed the three loose leaves with Soft Suede using a sponge dauber. The Mossy Meadow mat was put through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain embossing folder. Metallic Baker’s twine was wrapped around the Mossy Meadow card stock and tied in a knot. The base was attached to the Hello Honey card base with Fast Fuse. The Thanks is from Expressions Natural Elements and the acorn is from Into the Woods Elements. The card base is Hello Honey.

What a great first challenge entry Carole! I love the depth and texture of the sponged edges to your leaves and the wooden sentiment is the perfect bold addition. Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!

Carole, I love your choice of colors.

I ordered this set of stamps and dies in Sept. and have really enjoyed using them.

I even made some manly birthday cards to put in my stash.

Carole dumb question I am new at this. What do you mean by stamping tone on tone. The aqua painter was used with the water color paper and you colored it.

Thanks for your help.

  Tone on tone is using the same ink color as the paper choice.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
