The colour challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #341 is for the following colours: Pool Party, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay. Did you picture ferns?
Using those colours I decided to do a technique I haven't done for a while - clear block stamping.
A "D" block, inked with Pool Party ink, is spritzed lightly with water and stamped onto a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Whisper White towards the top half. After it was dry, two images from "Forever Fern" were stamped over this background - the larger one with Bermuda Bay; the other with Mint Macaron. Some Bermuda Bay "dots" were added to the background - another stamp from the Forever Fern stamp set. The sentiment, stamped in Bermuda Bay, is from "Positive Thoughts"
To fit in with the colour scheme, a 1/4" Whisper White ribbon is coloured with a Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend, tied into a bow and added at the junction of the two stems with a glue dot.
This Whisper White layer is matted with Mint Macaron card stock, and this in turn is added to a Bermuda Bay card base.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Forever Fern, Positive Thoughts
Inks: Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron, Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blend
Papers: Bermuda Bay, Mint Macaron, Whisper White
Accessories: D Block, Spritzer with water, 1/4" Whisper White ribbon

This is gorgeous - and it's a technique I haven't done in a while either - you've made our colours look lovely - thanks for sharing at HSS this week.
This is beautiful Maria! I love the background. Will have to give it a try. Thanks for joining us at Hand Stamped Sentiments!
