Hello and welcome back! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Barbara is hosting this week and has chosen the Balmy Blue, Peekaboo Peach, and Early Espresso with a dessert option to add butterflies. No dessert for me this week, frankly because I forgot until I was editing my card for upload tonight!
I'm also joining the current challenge at Just Us Girls, where we are to add "wood" to our card.
I kept envisioning the peach and blue as a background and then when I saw the JUGs challenge I knew how I wanted to proceed.
Starting with a panel of Bristol paper, I ink blended a few Distress Inks similar to the SU peach and blue challenge colors. The deer oval die was used to cut the image from dark woodgrain paper, then I traced around it on the ink blended panel, cut it out just slightly smaller than the die cut image, then adhered the two together. I used a treeline stencil and Versamark ink to create the subtle background on a Desert Storm panel, then adhered a strip of burlap ribbon before adhering to the card base and adding the oval with foam tape. I was going to add a sentiment but I didn't like how it looked, plus this gives me options to use it for a birthday or another occasion.
Thanks so much for visiting, it's always so appreciated! I've added links to both challenges above, so be sure to check them out!

How pretty your ink-blended sky; perfect for the deer/branches silhouette and tree patterned background! Thrilled to see this gem in the Just Us Girls gallery!
