Altenew July Inspiration Challenge

 

I played along with the inspiration challenge this month using Moss green, Starlight blue, and cream cardstock. My first card used the Stencil Art Set Serene Landscapes. Rather than make a wintery scene with pine trees, I used the alternate large tree in the stencil set with green grass and blue flowers dotting the landscape. The butterflies from the Mini Delight Garden Bench set were a perfect way to add a blue accent using Tide Blue and Starlight.  The sentiment from Timeless Sentiments 2 is cut from cream cardstock. 

My second card uses the Mini Delight Regal Frame stamp & die. Pink Sand ink made the stamp appear like a tone on tone look. I added in a few gold flowers to match the gold flower centers. The sentiment is stamped in Moss ink, to tie into the green in the frame and foliage. I kept the sentiment small by using the Timeless Sentiment stamp. This would make a good masculine card. 

Sticking to these colors did prove to be a challenge for me, but they worked well together. I look forward to trying this monthly challenge again!
