Mountain Air Thanks ~ CCMC676

Hello stampers!!!  Today's card is for Create with Connie and Mary's new color challenge.  We are using Petal Pink, Night of Navy, and Soft Succulent.  

I'm having a great time playing with the Mountain Air stamp set.  I really love to use softer, more feminine colors.  I love pinks and blues together for this set, too!

For the blue mountains I cut a mountain range out of vellum and colored it with my light and dark night of navy blends and then spritzed it with a bit of rubbing alcohol to blend the colors together.  I did this technique a couple times to get the darker color I wanted.  The Petal Pink mountain range was cut from Pearlescent specialty paper and then colored with Petal Pink blends.  I stamped the tree range in Soft Succulent ink on the same cardstock.  I found a small trick here:  normally I stamp on my cardstock first and then die cut.  With this stamp I found that it was easier to stamp AFTER die cutting.  

I cut two trees--one from vellum and one from Pearlescent.  I used the same blends technique only using my Soft Succulent markers. 

I cut the frame out of Rectangle Stitched dies in Night of Navy and Vellum.  The background is Petal Pink and I used blending brushes to sponge a little Petal Pink ink behind the mountains.

I finished the card off with some Pale Papaya open weave ribbon and a few Blue Gems.  

The sentiment is from Celebrate Sunflowers.  I stamped it on some Pearlescent specialty paper with Stazon ink.
