SSC304 In Color Picturesque

Hi All!  Time for another Sunday Stamps sketch challenge, and I've been thinking about the 2021-23 In Colors that are retiring at the end of the Annual Catalog sales period, May 1.  The stamp set Picturesque, in the Jan-Jun 2023 Mini Catalog, is an easy way to play with the ink colors while creating a fun landscape scene quickly.

With no room for jewels, I still felt the card was a little plain.  So I distressed with ink and water, perhaps going a little overboard.

Stamps: Picturesque; Paper: Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Whisper White; Ink: Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Versamark; Accessories: Linen Thread, Fine Tip Glue Pen, Watercolor Brush, White Embossing Powder, Sponge Brayer, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Die-Cutting Machine, e-cutter, Dimensionals.

And here's a second card with a different color scheme, incorporating some 2021-23 In Colors.

Stamps: Picturesque; Paper: Blushing Bride, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Night of Navy, Whisper White; Ink: Blushing Bride, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Night of Navy, Versamark; Accessories: Gems for Every Season, Linen Thread, Watercolor Brush, White Embossing Powder, Sponge Brayer, Banner Punch, Dimensionals.

This week's sketch is by Amy. 

Make sure to stock up on retiring In Color ink refills and card stock, if these are your faves!
