This retirement card is for two challenges.
First, I've used the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches#679 here.
Then the colors are for As You See It#285 here. The colors to use are Starry Sky, Parakeet Party, Mango Melody and Basic Black.
I started by using one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to create the colorful background with inks and Blending Brushes.
Paradise Palms is the stamp set with some 2022-2024 In Color DSP.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Paradise Palms
Papers: White, Black, Parakeet Party, 2022-2024 In Color DSP
Inks: Black, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky, Mango Melody
Accessories: Artistic Mix Decorative Masks, Blending Brushes, Stylish Shapes dies, Rectangle Stitched dies, Layering Circles dies, Stampin dimensionals
Beautiful. I love the background masks. Who wouldn't want to retire under those palm trees. Thanks for joining at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I really like the stencilled background as it adds a tropical feel without being over the top and so makes a perfect backdrop for the focal image. Very cleverly done! Thanks for joining in with us at As You See It Challenge.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Jennie, I didn't even think about how perfect our colors turn out to be for a gorgeous tropical scene! Love that background stenciling, too! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteThe background is so pretty! A fun card and theme, executed beautifully! Thanks for sharing with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches!
ReplyDeleteJennie, I feel as if I'm on a bungalow porch, looking out on the ocean through a circular porthole! The stencilling is such a great idea, giving such a light, airy look, while still using the challenge colours, and the Paradise Palms is such a great choice of stamps. Thanks for getting colourful with us at As You See It Challenges!
ReplyDeleteJennie! You have set the perfect scene for a retirement card and used our challenge colors beautifully! Well done! Thanks for joining us at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteOhh! I really love the stenciled background and this is a perfect retirement card. Beautiful job. Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
ReplyDeleteJennie your circle design acts as a window onto that beautiful sunset and totally draws me in - I want to be there!! I think the aspect of your car that I like the most those is that graduated stencilled background - so creative and really effective. Thanks for playing along with our colour challenge over at As You See It this week!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you've blended the colours on this card Jennie, and the stencilled background works so well. Thanks for joining us at As You See It challenge. Deborah DT
