A Forest-Themed Thank You Card

Hello Crafty Friends. It's Sue here on our blog today. Our challenge this month is a color challenge. We'd like you to use at least three of these colors, as well as black and white and skin tones, for people.


Our Sponsor this month is Poppystamps who will be giving our winner a $20 gift card. Thank you Poppystamps for your generosity.


Here's my card


I used two Poppystamps dies, Mini Forest Plants and Thank You Poe Script to create my card. I ink blended the colors onto the die cuts. For specific details on how I put my card together, check out my foleysfriend blog here.

Nordic Spectacular Butterfly

 Hi there,

Cindy here to share another project created using the color palette for this month's challenge.


For our challenge this month, we challenge you to use three or more colors of the above palette, with optional black and white and skin tone on people for your project.  Of course add die cut and/or dry embossing.

I managed to use most of the colors on mine, all except the "Brown".


The background is ink blended.  The middle layer is a piece of pattern paper form 49&Market (which happened to "Warm Grey" with a bit of the "Olive Green" on it), the focal point is die cut using Poppystamps Nordic Spectacular Butterfly.  I die cut the butterfly using white card stock, and I ink blended it.

Our sponsor this month is Poppystamps, and they are giving a $20 gift card to their store as a challenge prize.



Come join in the fun, click the "Monthly Challenge" button on the right sidebar for the linkup post.  See you in the challenge gallery.
