This was a hard color combo for me and I actually made two cards! I will share the one I am entering in the challenge today, and then probably the other one next week when I am gone.
The funny thing is, I actually made this background first, went and made the other card, didn't know if I liked it, and came back and finished THIS card! :) That's not usually how I craft, but it's just been one of those days!
This is one of my favorite techniques with reinkers. I used Watercolor Paper, dipped my aqua painter into ink refill and hit a needle against the bristles to spray the ink onto the paper. Pretty cool effect! There were some big splotches so I dried it with my heat tool and then stamped the leaves in Always Artichoke. This is a really cool technique to use when you don't have any designer paper to match your project, which I never seem to have! :)
The top leaf is stamped with Certainly Celery ink followed by the Always Artichoke blotchy stamp and cut out. I really enjoy fussing cutting. It just adds so much!
