Makeesha's Inspiration Challenge #8

I wasn't game enough to try out Makeesha's colour challenge last week....they were abit too bright for me, so thought I'd better make up for it by having a go at this weeks challenge. You can click here to see the inspiration picture & check out the other entries. As soon as I saw the picture I thought of this card that Jayne Mercer made, so had to CASE it. I've used the Poppin' Pastels technique using Stampin' Up! Pastels & Versamark ink. If you live in my area, you can come along to my technique class on Tuesday 16th to learn how it is done.

Then I saw this card on Renee Van Stralen's blog, so had to remake my card, with afew adjustments. The image looks slightly different in this card as I used White Craft Ink instead of Versamark.

Stampsets: Inspired By Nature, Cheer & Wishes

Cards: Mellow Moss, Kraft

Ink: Choc Chip, Versamark, Whisper White

Accessories: Stampin' Pastels, White Taffeta Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Button & twine
