Happy Friday, y'all! And today is extra happy, we're picking up the hubs at the airport this morning and we haven't seen him since Christmas. And we get him for a whole week! All of us are ready for this deployment to be over, but at least we're over 2/3 there now.
Anyway, here's my card for today:
I won't lie, I was initially stumped when I saw the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, but then I had the idea to break out my retired Watercolor Shapes stamp set and sponge ink on the circle to make a more CAS background for my card. Everything else just kinda followed from there. Here's the sketch:
And I used this week's Color Throwdown:
I used Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, and Very Vanilla for my colors, though looking at this again I kinda wish I'd gone with Petal Pink. Well, the Pale Papaya works fine, even if it's a bit more orange than the inspo pic.
Have a great day, y'all!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: Everyday Details, Notes of Nature, Watercolor Shapes
Ink: Pale Papaya, Pecan Pie, Soft Succulent, Stampin' Blends in Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Ivory
