Hi there and welcome!
Today I have a card which I've created for the Colour INKspiration Challenge #159. Only three colours in our palette this time around, so nice and easy! Our inspiration picture was chosen by Crew Member, Nicole Wilson and our Guest Designer is the fabulous Donna Hardcastle. I can't wait to go and see what everyone has created.

My card uses quite a few different products but is simple in it's execution. For my background I've used the Perennial Postage Dies and modified the Berry Burst 'postage stamp' and the Pretty Peacock 'postage stamp' to create custom sizes in Smoky Slate to fit. You don't have to do this if you don't want to - just use the dies as is, it won't be perfect but then again, my version isn't either. I did a little bit of stamping on the Smoky Slate pieces, tone on tone using different images from Notes of Nature Stamp Set for added interest. These were adhered to a custom-sized card base that measures 4 1/8" x 5 1/4" .
To finish of the card I stamped the small leafy image from Notes of Nature in 2nd Generation Smokey Slate in top left and bottom right corners, matted this onto a layer of Smoky Slate cardstock and adhered this into the centre.
