It’s the third Pootles’ colour challenge already – I missed the second due to my business trip to Texas. This week the colours we have to select from are melon mambo, watermelon wonder, crushed curry and cucumber crush. I elected to use just three of them – watermelon wonder didn’t fit with my card. These colours gave me the chance to play with vertical greetings again – I’m really having fun with this set. In fact, Vertical Greetings was one of the sets that made it onto my “Must Buy Immediately” list!

I carefully inked up the stamp with cucumber crush and crushed curry and then huffed on it before stamping. I then added the greeting in melon mambo. Are you wondering where the flowers came from? They are punched out of the Detailed Floral Thinlits dies and are a perfect size to decorate this tree – as are the crushed curry enamel shapes. Any time that I cut out the detailed floral thinlits dies, I save these little flowers. I then matted my piece of whisper white with a skinny piece of cucumber crush and glued that to a thick whisper white card base.

The festive TIEF seems to mimic the rows of decoration on the flower pot so I used that to dry emboss my envelope flap.

I’d like to wish a  hearty welcome to my two new email subscribers. Thanks so much for inviting me into your inbox! Feel free to comment and introduce yourselves or ask any questions that you may have.

See you tomorrow,
