Colour Dare 435 - Just Because...

Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge #435!

St. Patrick's Day is coming up so the colour theme this week is greens with one other colour. Neutrals are free to use. 

I have been playing around with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers and the background of this card was created by colouring in sections on vellum and then painting over the vellum with rubbing alcohol. It creates such a cool background. I used dark pink (not purple), dark green and medium grey for this background. 

The coloured background was mounted on a piece of Mint cardstock and I used the light side of Evergreen cardstock to die cut the stitched borders. That same Mint cardstock was used as the cross piece. I stamped a floral cluster, coloured and fussy cut it. The sentiment was stamped at the bottom of the cross piece and a few purple gems were added. I brushed the centre sections of each flower with the Clear Shimmer Brush. 

Come and join us at Colour Dare and show us how you interpret the colour theme shown above.
