I love using the leafy stamp from Growing Green to watercolor. I colored it with a Wild Wasabi marker then dragged the color around with an aqua painter. The companion designer paper is from Woodland Walk and the sentiment is from Much Appreciated. The layout is courtesy of the Stamping 411 sketch challenge.
Now, you might be wondering what is up with that tie-dyed ribbon. That is an experiment gone awry! Several months ago I tried to dye a piece of Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon. I soaked the ribbon in some water that I had added a few drops of Wild Wasabi ink to. But the ribbon wouldn't take the color and this is what I ended up with. I'm not sure why, but I saved it and I came across it as I considered what ribbon to use on my card. It's actually kind of pretty in real life and the colors go perfectly with this card! That's some serendipity!
Thanks for stopping by!
