Just Us Girls: Colour Challenge

I'm welcoming the weekend with my third Just Us Girls guest designer post! This week my friend Carol is asking us to use the colours GREEN, BLUE, and PINK to create our projects. Rather than use these to colour my card, I thought I would make them the backdrop: 


The three colours are blended onto a panel of Bristol cardstock. With a polka dot stencil, I blended more of same colours, letting them overlap on the shaded transitions. The floral image with added dragonfly is embossed in white over top. Finally, I added a simple sentiment. 



I think the possibilities with these three colours are endless - I hope you will come up with your own spin and join us! 

Supplies: Neenah white & Fabriano blue cardstock, Koh-I-Noor smooth Bristol, Echo Park Winter Wishes patterned paper, Unity Insightful Meadows, Paper Smooches Botanicals & Clearly Besotted Sweet Little Sentiments stamps, Versamark, Altenew Persian blue & tumbled glass, spun sugar & bundled sage distress inks, Wow white embossing powder, Heidi Swapp polka dot stencil, Sugar Pea Designs Card Builder Elements & MFT blueprints 29 dies

    When I saw the colour pallet I thought "EW green" but your card is beautiful, Stencil use is fab. and the Queen Anne's lace and dragone fly are a lovely addition to the background.

    The ink blended background looks wonderful, Lindsey, and the polka dots really call attention to it. The wild flowers were a great choice to emboss over them. It's such a soft and pretty card.

    Fabulous background! I love how you used the polka dot stencil and your beautiful blending of the inks. The white embossed image looks beautiful against it.
