I created the background by blending Tim Holtz Distress Inks in blue and yellow. The colours are: Peacock Feathers, Broken China, Bundled Sage and Squeezed Lemonade. On the side panels I used one of the leafy stamps from the Autumn Poppy set and TH's DI Peacock Feathers to frame and create a background. On the central panel I used a stamp from the Texture Fragments A4 stamp sheet and Mowed Lawn.
The sentiment is from the Loving Sentiments A5 stamp sheet and I stamped it on vellum with Brilliance Graphite Black. It's fast drying, slightly pearlescent and perfect for stamping on vellum. For layering I used red CS - the contrast really makes the blues and greens pop. More fussy cut leaves in the bottom panel.
I stamped the peppers with Memento Tuxedo Black and coloured the image with these Graph'It markers:
Leaves: Amazon, Tuscany, Pistachio, Anise
Peppers: Halloween, Carrot, Curry, Mango, Honey
Flower: Mimosa, Sun, Lemon
Stalk: Mocha, Bronze
A little fussy cutting, quick dry glue and voila!
