Nature Get Well - Stampin' Up! Nature's Harvest

   Yesterday I need to take a break from creating with new products for an upcoming class as I just couldn't get going on a projects that I liked.  So I decided to head back to a favorite stamp set that is still around but I haven't used in a while. The Nature's Harvest stamp set from the last mini is one that has carried over and it works perfectly with the colors over at CAS Colours & Sketches challenge.  I made a clean and simple get well with these beautiful colors.  At first I thought they would be too dark together but with a big dose of white as well as white space I think they definitely look great together.

 

  The card base is Early Espresso with the images stamped and embossed onto watercolor paper.  I had some long retired Early Espresso embossing powder which was perfect for my idea of watercoloring the image.  If I stamped the image in Early Espresso it would have bled and smeared so the embossing allowed me to keep the image nice and crisp.  I used ink and a blender pen to add the color.

  I edged the piece of watercolor paper with a length of Evening Evergreen open weave ribbon  The sentiment is stamped and die cut and popped up on dimensionals.  A few champagne rhinestones are the finishing touches.

  This was a fun color combo to work with and very unexpected when we are all looking towards spring and pastel colors are all around us.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
