Today, I'm posting a card that I made for the latest Avery Elle Blog Challenge, which is to use the following photo as inspiration for your card:
I'm really loving this shade of green!
I used one of the free Avery Elle digital stamps to create my card, along with some Papertrey Ink cardstock (rustic white, classic kraft) and My Mind's Eye patterned paper. For the dock, I stamped my WMS woodgrain stamp onto the kraft cardstock in versamark and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I added an Echo Park chipboard butterfly onto my flowers.
For my digital stamp, I printed it out onto the rustic white cardstock and cut it out with my craft knife. I pressed some PTI new leaf and ocean tides ink onto my stamp press and then took a paintbrush dipped in water and mixed up the inks and then painted around the frame and the leaves. I pressed a little more ocean tides ink onto the stamp press and then watercoloured my flowers. I added some SU! pearls to finish it off.
Thanks for looking!

Lovely card. You nailed that challenge. Love how you did the "dock"
Using a variety of greens for the background and focal images creates such serene look on your card, Leigh.
Green is a much needed colour this time of year (after so much snow)!!
Wow--Leigh--this is gorgeous. I really like what you did with the woodgrain. That is a great trick.
