Dark Green with Kraft and Rusty Red - Frame Hello

For the Papertrey Ink "Create Along with Us" June challenge, I chose the 3rd project in this post by Lizzie Jones as my starting point.  Many of my ingredients came from Lizzie's card ...  a busy patterned paper background, a die cut frame and word, a diagonal "2nd line" sentiment, and a color scheme with green, brown, and rusty red. 

Sponging cream ink onto the patterned paper inside my frame allowed the "hello" to stand out well on the dark pattern, and then I also sponged some cream and rusty red onto the kraft frame and eyelet border.

This card is far from my usual style, but I think I like it!  Thanks, Lizzie, for inspiring me to try something very different today!

Card details:

• Card stock is an unknown leather-textured dark green (a few sheets given to me by a cardmaking friend), Papertrey Ink (PTI) terra cotta tile (rusty red), classic kraft, and a print from PTI argyle socks 8x8" patterned paper (retired).
• Dies are PTI seed packet frame 2, wonderful words: hello, and eyelet lace. 
• Sponging is done with PTI vintage cream and terra cotta tile ink cubes, using the round Ranger ink blending tool to apply the ink.
• The sentiment "thinking of you" is from PTI fillable frames #2 (retiring), stamped with PTI terra cotta tile ink cube.

Created for Operation: Quiet Comfort.
