Jacksonbelle Challenge

Hello!

I was chatting with Lindsey the other day, and she mentioned she was having a challenge with her new Design Team. The challenge was to use pink, green and gray for a Thank You card. It’s been awhile since I participated in a challenge, so I accepted! :D

When SU! came out with this basic gray cardstock and charbon (is that the right name?) patterned paper, I just HAD to have it. Hmmmm…let’s see that was about 10 months ago?? This is my first time using it! *eyes rolling* Can you relate? LOL! I paired it with Neenah classic cream, and Prism frosted azalea.

I just love this Far East set from Lizzie Anne! I stamped the branch in Adirondack slate ink, then stamped the tiny flowers in Adirondack raspberry ink. I cut and embossed this with the new Spellbinders long rectangle Nestability die, and matted it with the azalea scalloped panel. I still needed to add my green element, so I chose to stamp the lantern in Adirondack meadow ink, trim it out, and cover it with Ranger glossy accents.

The sentiment is embossed with detail white embossing powder, and the tiny flowers have lime green Stickles in the centers.

Thanks for a fun challenge, Lindsey!! If you all would like to play along, upload your card in the Jacksonbelle member forum on Splitcoast HERE!

Hello Trudee,
I think your card looks amazing. I bought lots of dark shades of card from a papermill and have been waiting for some inspiration, now I have it. Thank you. x

I love the green lantern on this - what a great touch!
