Thankful Garden For You

It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This week it is a color challenge.

This color challenge features 2 of the 2025-27 In Colors, Secret Sea and Strawberry Slush and one of my long time favorite colors, Old Olive.  I often turn to using masks with color challenges.  Using ink pads, Blending Brushes, and masks can help to extend the colors.  You can see in the picture below what I mean.   Doesn't it look like I used more than just Strawberry Slush to color the flowers?

• Secret Sea CS card base-4-1/4" x 11".
• Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP (Designer Series Paper) 4" x 5-1/4".
• Secret Sea CS cut using the Textured Notes dies.
• Thankful Garden bundle (Online Exclusive) inked in Tuxedo Black ink.
• Flowers and leaves colored using the Thankful Garden Masks, Blending Brushes, Strawberry Slush and Old Olive ink pads.
• Basic White CS circle cut using the Stylish Shapes die.
• Sentiment from the Tags of Thanks set in Secret Sea ink.
• Rhinestones colored using Secret Sea Stampin' Blends.
• Strawberry Slush Faux Linen Ribbon bow.
• Wink of Stella liberally applied on the flowers.

Inside I added a strip of the Irresistible Designs DSP.  I used Strawberry Slush ink and a Blending Brush to the strip and it really makes the design pop!  Thanks for stopping by and please check out how the other members of the Create with Stamping Friends used the challenge colors.
