Green and Gray

Hi and welcome!  Today I am thrilled to tell you that I've been invited to be a Guest Designer over at Just Add Ink.  I really enjoy JAI's challenges and join in whenever I can so I'm looking forward to the next three months!

Our challenge this week is......

I went down a rather boring route and used green and gray to come up with this card:

I started by masking off a panel on a sheet of watercolor cardstock and sponging all four of Altenew's grey inks in an ombre fashion.  Before I removed the masks, I spritzed with a Perfect Pearls mist, then I die-cut the panel with a stitched die and mounted it onto a white card base.

I then die-cut some foliage using various green and gray cardstock.  Once I had them positioned how I wanted, I adhered them to the card base.  Finally, I die-cut the Big Hello die from Slate cardstock and adhered it with foam tape.

All up, I used four gray inks, three gray cardstock colors and three green cardstock colors, so I think I'm good to go with the challenge brief this week :)

Thanks for visiting!  Please check out the fabulous creations from the rest of the design team and have a go at Just Adding G.
