Olive Branches Challenge Card

Hello, and welcome.  I have been wanting to use this stamp from Power Poppy, but it is fall oriented, so I have not used it, until now.  I decided that if I didn't stamp the entire stamp, and just highlighted the olives part, it could do for a spring stamp also.  I left out the oak leaves and acorns, using only a portion of the stamp.
I used stamps from the Olive & Oak Expanded clear stamp set from Power Poppy.

I stamped with Tim Holtz distress ink in antique linen, so that I could do no-line coloring.  For my coloring medium, I chose Polychromos pencils. I inked the verse with Ranger archival leaf green ink, and brushed the background with TH distress ink scattered straw with a Clarity brush.

Fabric I used for my inspiration

I am adding my card to the Power Poppy Power & Spark Challenge .  The challenge is to use fabric as inspiration.  Here is the fabric I chose for inspiration for my card....
Thanks for stopping by today.  I appreciate you taking time to visit, and I am grateful for your comments.

Blessings,
