JAI 648 choose two challenge - coastal grove birthday

Handmade peaceful coastal garden scene card using Stampin Up! Grassy Grove bundle, Grove dies, Deckled Rectangles dies, Inspired Thoughts stamp set. Card by Di Barnes - Independent Demonstrator in Sydney Australia - colourmehappy -stampinupcards - cardmaking - diecutting - stamping

Hello and welcome to my Just Add Ink team project share for this week's Choose Two challenge with the options of water, wall, or garden.  I did a fair amount of head scratching trying to work out which elements to choose or make with the supplies I have.

I decided to go with water and garden, creating this peaceful, coastal garden scene using the lovely, intricate Grove dies, and retiring favourite, the Inspired Thoughts stamp set. Here's how it turned out.

Did you spot some 'Garden' Green cardstock and ink there too behind the main white die cut panel and the plants? PS, did you notice the Deckled rectangle around the Grove die cut too?

The other card colours used are Sahara Sand (sadly retiring - it's such a lovely neutral), Night of Navy (thankfully staying or I'd be devastated).

I created a masked, blending brush background for the ocean and sky, using Pool Party and Balmy Blue ink. There's probably a tiny bit of residual Starry Sky ink left on my blue blending brush. To add some texture and interest to the background I scored lines across the inked panel.

Inside is simple but coordinated with another sentiment from Inspired Thoughts.
