Tropical Leaf Color Challenge

Welcome to the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. We get together the 4th Thursday of every month to bring you inspiration and fun with our color/photo challenge. We can choose to be inspired by the colors listed or the photo for each month. We hope you will be inspired, too!

Here is this month’s inspiration:

I was immediately drawn to the colors listed on the right side of the photo so that is what I chose. Here is the card I created using the Tropical Leaf stamp set and punch. This is an online exclusive and won’t be found in any catalog.

Instructions for Tropical Leaf Color Challenge Card

Cut a Blueberry Bushel card base 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″. Fold and burnish.
Adhere 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″ mat of Coastal Cabana to a 3 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White mat. Center and adhere to the front of the card base.
Cut a piece of Basic White 3 3/8″ x 4 5/8″ and stamp the stems about halfway up in Granny Apple Green ink.
On scrap Basic White, stamp one each of the large leaves in Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, and Calypso Coral. Stamp the veins in Crumb Cake. Punch out the leaves.
Stamp the sentiment “Thanks so much” in Coastal Cabana ink in the lower right hand corner.
Adhere the Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight leaves flat on the card front. Pop the Granny Apple Green leaf up with dimensionals.
Add three Blueberry Bushel gems from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack.
Stamp a small leaf in Blueberry Bushel ink in the lower right hand corner of a 4″ x 5 1/2″ Basic White mat. Adhere to the inside.
