To me, this challenge seemed to be made for a technique I've always enjoyed playing around with and that is Joseph's Coat. So I started by sponging a piece of Whisper White card with Call Me Clover, Granny Apple Green and Garden Green. Then I clear embossed the fern stamp from Daisy Lane over it. Finally, I smeared Tuxedo Black over the top and wiped off the excess with tissues.
That made such a vibrant ground for the rest of the card to build up from.
I punched, sponged and layered up the daisy. The Granny Apple Green strip behind the sentiment is embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. I've added in some die cut foliage pieces from the Wild Rose dies, which I've sponged lightly to blend the greens more.

This turned out lovely. Thanks for the reminder of this technique. Looking at the gallery trying to figure out how to do something with the all on black challenge. =)

ReplyDeleteThis card is just stunning Jan - those green leaves are so vibrant and the pink flower really pops! A great technique for a black card base too!
