Nature in Green Ombre - relax & rejoice

 Hello all! I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

A Place to Start - Anything Goes/Optional Ombre

Let's Craft & Create #230 - AG/Optional Beautiful Butterflies

Try it on Tuesday - Make Your Own Background

I used Distress Oxide Inks in shades of green, ink blended them on a piece of watercolor paper and then spritzed with water and blotted with a paper towel. Once dry, I stamped the butterflies and sentiment with the Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide and embossed with clear embossing powder. I did the same with the feather, then fussy cut and attached with foam dots. Stamps are from the Paper Feathers set from Woodware Craft Collection. 

.................

And this next card is for the:

Retro Rubber #270 - Singing in the Rain!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

The Greeting Farm FB Challenge - Rule of 3 (3 candles, 3 lotus blossoms)

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Make it Feminine

OK So I had to go with a water theme because I have no retro rubber rainy images! LOL  So I created a bathtub scene with a 2009 set from The Greeting Farm called Pamper Yourself. Most of my oldest stamps, especially the red rubber ones, are from The Greeting Farm. I stamped the images on the watercolor cardstock panel with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, coloring a slight shadow around each image to make it pop. I added some glitter to the candles, some rhinestone stickers, and a die cut around the sentiment (Jaded Blossom). I matted the panel on a piece of pale pink cardstock. Peace.
