It is time for another INKspired blog hop, this time around it is a colour challenge. I have given the team 5 colours and they can use all of them or as few as they like. I am excited to see the different combinations, we have Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, Mint Macaron, Just Jade and Crumb Cake. 
Now I have to say, almost every time we have a colour challenge I wish Crumb Cake was one of the colours, I normally use it all the time… The ONE time it is included, I don’t use it (eye roll) I do like the freshness of Pear Pizzazz, Mint Macaron and Just Jade with Whisper White.
I know this concept of stamping on strips of cardstock is for everyone but I am going through a strippy stage which you can see HERE my card for The Spot challenge.
I cut up strips of Pear Pizzazz, Mint Macaron and Just Jade cardstock to the same thickness and attached them to a cardstock base that I had covered it double-sided adhesive sheets. Then stamping this image from Dragonfly Garden stamp set in VersaMark and white embossing powder, I was relaxed with the excess embossing powder knowing I was only to add white paint splatter later.
I added a whitewash inside the dragonfly using a Blender pen (which I have not used in years) and white craft ink re-inker.
Earlier this month Stampin’ Up! released a new Annual Catalogue and to be totally honest, my wish list is a little shorter than it normally is but my wallet is a little grateful. I have only a few stamp set/bundles that were must order asap’s but at the top of the list was Quiet Meadow, especially this text image! I have pops of it stamped in VersaMark.
I added a little splatter of white paint, I get questions about my splatter. I use basic white acrylic paint that I water down, say 1:2 paint to water and a thin liner paintbrush. I hold the paintbrush over the surface I wish to splatter and tap.
Texture makes SURE a huge difference in a simple way, my current go to is the Tasteful Textile folder. Tell me, what is your go to embossing folder? I might be missing it.
Inside the card, the stripyness (not a real word) continues.
That was a long post,
partly to make up for my lack of sharing
and my excitement over this card.

Love your card Teneale. Very clever use of textures and the colour combo.
What a beautiful card! You have the best taste.
Teneale,
I have just discovered you today, and this blog. You are such a talented and skilled artist, my goodness!
I don’t even know where to begin. Your watercoloring is amazing, and every card that you make seems to have some unique, adorable, almost unexpected element in the design. I could easily spend all day here, pondering over your cards.
Each is a work of art, and so delightful. You are an inspiration!
This is such a creative card. I love that you painted inside the wings with craft ink. Haven’t used that in years. And, I like the splatter, another thing I have not done in years, but used to do to everything when I used to do folk art painting.
