Last week I had a few computer challenges and so I couldn’t upload my card in time for the Paper Smooches Challenge! So this week, I have TWO cards I’m entering.
This week is a color challenge:
(Teal, Light Purple, Kraft, Orange)
I knew I wanted to use my little acorn stamp from the Paper Smooches “Falling For You” set. And this card changed quite a few times over the course of the creation process!
Here’s the first draft. It seemed a little plain to me, but I did LOVE how that plaid acorn turned out using watercolors and Inktense pencils. The “tree branch” was painted teal to match the acorn and embossing with a wood grain embossing folder. But that Sentiment seemed a bit out of place.
I thought it would be great to have the sentiment hanging from the tree. But it here seemed a bit too low, so I changed it to this:
What do you think about the evolution of this card? I used a little plaid paper to play off the plaid acorn. <3
Entering into the Paper Smooches challenge here.
