Hey, y'all! Happy Wednesday!!
It's time for the next Color Throwdown challenge to begin and this week Wanda has chosen the most scrumptious inspiration photo with equally yummy colors!

I decided to do minimal stamping on my card today and instead started with a little Distress ink spritzing and blending. I swiped Spun Sugar and Crushed Olive on my craft sheet, then spritzed it with some water using my mini-mister, and dragged my cardstock thru it. When it dried I spritzed the cardstock directly to create more of a watercolor effect. I distressed the edges and sponged on some of the same inks using my ink blending tool.

I sponged some Frayed Burlap behind where I was going to place my Cattails D'Lites die cut and also along the edges using my Mini Chevron 6x6 template.
I stamped the "Thinking of" in Walnut Stain and added a die cut "you" as well. I wrapped the card front in twine, tied it through a button, then added the Cattails using some Scotch foam mounting tape.
That's it! It was a fun card to make using all my eclectic Paperie supplies, and I just love this intricate die cut!
Please be sure to stop by and visit with all the Color Throwdown designers and see what they've created today!

This is lovely, Broni....like the marshes at sunset. Love it!The stencilled chevrons are subtle, but add so much.
