Hello again! It's time for a new Color Challenge at Splitcoaststampers! Mary is hosting this week and she has chosen the lovely combination of Poppy Parade, Mango Melody and Call Me Clover with a dessert option of a thanks or birthday card. My card does contain the word "happy" and I think I might get away using this for a birthday card or an encouragement card.
I'm also joining the current Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where this week's theme is "Stitches", which I included with a couple of stitched die cuts.
I was trying to decide how I wanted to use this week's colors and remembered I had this print with those fabulous mushrooms and thought it would work perfectly. I colored it with Copic markers, using neutrals of browns and a mossy green (a SU neutral used by the color team). When the coloring was complete I used a Copic friendly pen to outline all the images and the sentiment in order to give it a bolder black outline. After die cutting with a stitched rectangle die, it was mounted first on a slightly larger die cut panel of Poppy Parade, then added to a Desert Storm card base using foam tape. I thought there was plenty going on in the print that I didn't need to add any embellishments.
That's it for my card. Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a great week!

This is STUNNING!!! I love your coloring!!
Oh my goodness, Stef .... have to agree with Nora, in that this is stunning! What a beautifully coloured image. You've used the bright, bold, colours beautifully, toned down by the lovely neutrals. Gorgeous card!
