Simplicity - Color Throwdown 611

~

Happy Wednesday!

We have a brand new Color Throwdown for you today!  The generic colors we are using this week are Gray, Kraft, Green, and White.

~

~

I love that outdoor room!

And since the dominant color is green I decided to use the brand new to me Simplicity digital images from Graciellie Designs.  I won it in her Instagram giveaway!

~

~

For the background I used what I call the "brush drag" technique.  After the leaves were colored with Copic markers, I used the brush end of both a gray and a pale blue marker (one at a time) and dragged from the center of the image out to the edges.  This picks up some of the leaf color and drags it into the background.  I also coated the leaves with a Wink of Stella green pen to add lots of subtle sparkle.

We would love for you to play along with us this week!  Check out all the inspiration at the CTD blog!

Hey Fungi Toadstool Garden

~

Hey, y'all!

I thought I'd pop in today and show you a birthday card I made using the brand new Botanicuts Toadstool Garden die from The Greetery.

~

~

I love these mushrooms!  I used some leftover water colored paper pieces to die cut them and then sponged the uncolored parts with some dye ink.  I created the "Hey Fungi" with my Dymo label maker.  Perfect for a teenage boy!  And I thought this Prima Marketing Doodle Deux patterned paper was just perfect for the background!

That's it for me today!  I'll see you back here Wednesday for the new Color Throwdown challenge!

Plenty of Autumn Leaves

~

Hello, and happy Friday!  

Today I have another Autumn card, chock full of colorful leaves.  I've used the Power Poppy Plenty of Leaves digital image and a sentiment from the Ultimate Poppy digital stamp set.

~

~

This card is 5.5" square, so rather big!  After I colored all the leaves with Copic markers, I distressed the edges with my scissors.  Do any of you remember when that was all the rage?  I also colored an additional oak leaf and popped it up on foam mounting tape.

Be sure to drop by the Power Poppy blog to see which of the other designers from the Bloom Brigade are posting today.

Thank you for dropping by today!  Have a fabulous weekend!
