A colour and sketch inspired card

Good morning all, especially yet another new follower, Heather!

As my regular followers will know, Saturday mornings are my favourite crafting time as I seem to have such a mojo boost! I think  it's fair to say that my main inspiration on Saturday mornings is Less Is More! And this morning is no exception. Chrissie and Jen have given us a gorgeous inspiration photo to work with!

So I have gone for quite a literal interpretation of the photo...



First of all I created my background using various colours, my Stamp-a-Majig mat and Sponge Daubers. I used the mat for adding colour from my Stampin' Write Markers then picking up the colour with the sponge daubers.
I then used a tree stamp from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set and a sentiment from the lovely Hostess Express Yourself stamp set. I finished with some nail gems from my stash.

I have taken inspiration for the layout of my card from CAS(E) this Sketch this week...



Supplies
Stamps - Serene Silhouettes, Express Yourself
Ink - Soft Suede, Baked Brown Sugar, Basic Gray, 

If you would like to order any of the lovely items I have used, or any other products please do contact me for more information and to find out how to earn your own free Hostess stamp sets!

Have a lovely Saturday!
