Using Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green and Darling Duckling

 Hey Everybody,

Linda's challenge colors this week are balmy blue, granny apple green and darling duckling. You can find her challenge here.  

I cut the arch from a piece of white cardstock. I used pecan pie ink and pulled the ink pad over the outside of the arch. Then I dry embossed it with the Stampin' Up!-Timber 3D embossing folder to give it a wood look.

 I stamped the image from Unity Stamps called Just Beak-Cause, in memento tuxedo black ink and colored it with Copic Markers. I put a circle on my paper for the sun. This is a mask so the blue ink doesn't touch the circled area. I used blending brushes and a cloud cut out to make clouds and grass. I removed the mask and colored the sun with Copic Marker. I stamped the sentiment in granny apple green. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

When I saw the colors for this challenge, I immediately thought of this chicken stamp. I knew I could make the sky with balmy blue and grass with granny apple green. 

I could have made a yellow flower with  stem and a blue sky. It truly depends what stamps you have in your collection.

  Sometimes I look through my stamps to see what hasn't been used in a while. Then I try to find a challenge to use it.

What do you picture when you think of these colors? Take a look through your stamps, what will work? I hope you give this challenge a try.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Blessings,

Sue
