"Minty Fresh" - Heart 2 Heart Challenge

Welcome to this week's Challenge, for Heart 2 Heart, entitled "Minty Fresh". It can be interpreted however you see fit.

Consider creating some artwork of your own, being sure to incorporate at least one Close To My Heart product in your creation, and then link up on the Heart 2 Heart Blog.

Mint is a Close To My Heart color and I chose to incorporate it as the main color scheme on this card. In fact, the color combination of Mint, Smoothie and Peacock is one contained in our Love of Color how-to book. I love using it as a source of inspiration. 

To add a little texture to the card, I added vellum paper, from The World is Yours paper pack, on top of the Mint cardstock. It softened it slightly and was a fun little addition.

Watercolor pencils were used on the image from "To My Bestie", the May Stamp of the Month. You can get it, this month only, for $5 with a qualifying purchase. Click here for complete details. 

I look forward to seeing your creation on Heart 2 Heart!

Enjoy your week!

This stamp set includes 19 images to include fabulous designs and sentiments. Jt can be yours, for $5, with a $50 purchase; that's it! I have already created several items with it and can't want to make more. 

If you are coming from Cat's Blog, you are on the right track. You can find a list of participants HERE. 

The first image I chose to work with this is this one. It's sweet and I think of several friends who are dealing with some life challenges for which it is perfect.

I used Watercolor Pencils to color in the image and then blended them with the Waterbrush Pen. The "Sweet Girl" paper pack was incorporated, as was coordinating cardstock and White & Gold Twine.
