Tutu Cute - Color Throwdown #256

Hi, everyone!  It's time once again for a new Color Throwdown challenge!  Joan is our hostess-with-the-Mostess this week and she's chosen a beautiful combo for us to work with:

I was at CKC in Charlotte on Saturday and picked up a few stamps at ridiculously low prices ($1.00 for small ones and $2.00 for large ones).  It didn't matter to me that they were last year's releases!

Today I've used the Melissa Frances Tu-tu Cute stamp.  Of course I had to buy a little ballerina!!  And I thought Joan's colors would work really well for a tutu and water colored background for her.

The "leaves" are from the Avery Elle Rounded Diamonds stamp set (and dies).  I clear embossed the veins.  The background is another that I used the wrinkle-free distress technique on.  But on this one, I didn't really like how the Razzleberry was so much darker that the other 2 colors, so after I dried the piece, I ended up flipping it over to the back side for a much softer look! 

I colored the little cutie with Copics and used a new Wink of Stella glitter brush (clear) to add some shimmer.  Then I popped on a seam binding bow and some sequins and I was done.

The layout I used is from this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #191:
