The team over at Color Hues challenge is working with green and copper this time which I thought was a fun combo. A metallic always adds such a nice element to any card. I chose to use Soft Sea Foam with a little bit of Old Olive for accent for my green hues.
I started with a Soft Sea Foam card base. The Nature's Sweetness suite of products all work together so well and I used both stamp sets for this card. I used the grid and field notes stamps from Notes of Nature to cover a square of Basic White. The Soft Sea Foam ink is nice and light and make it look like a faded journal page.
I inked up the cocoa bean image from Lovely & Sweet in Versamark and stamped it right over the grid stamping then embossed it in Copper. It's such a pretty contrast with the light green! I used a blender pen and ink to color in the leaves.
This panel is backed with a piece of Oxidized Copper that is a carryover item from the Sept.-Dec. mini catalog so it's still available! I used the Lovely & Sweet dies to cut the Old Olive tab. I stamped the grid image on it and then distressed it a bit by crumpling it up.
The sentiment is stamped in Old Olive on a strip of Basic White and I trimmed the ends on an angle. Before adhering it to the card with dimensionals I tucked a length of copper ribbon behind it for a little more pop of copper.
The final touch are 2 Copper Clay 2023-2025 In Color dots in the corner of the image panel.
All of the current products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE.
