Calendar Challenge : White/Yellow/Green

This week, the Craft Barn challenge is to use White, Yellow and Green for the 3rd page of our Calendar.





I decided to go all in and use yellow for my rose image for harmony, rather than use a contrasting red or pink colour, adding just a touch of orange with ribbon.


The page has been die-cut with a Grand Spellbinders die, then embossed with the die still in place, adding a second smaller die where my image will sit, over an Impressabilitie.
I used distress inks and Cut & Dry foam to colour the embossing .


The central image is by Impression Obsession and I have used markers in yellow and green to stamp, colouring with pencils over the top.
It's a lot of yellow and green... more than I would use normally, but then it IS a challenge !

Thanks for coming and look !
