Simple Sunflower Hugs - Color Throwdown #353

Happy Hump Day!!  Woo hoo!  Only a couple more days until the weekend!

It’s time to reveal a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  Vickie is our hostess this week and here are her fun colors (yellow, purple, and green):

I just had to go with the sunflower image, so I pulled out my PTI Simple Sunflower set and stamped it in Distress inks onto watercolor paper.  I die cut all the pieces, then used the smooshing technique to color my Sugar Pea Gift Tag die cut in Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves inks.

I used the sketch from this week’s Paper Players challenge #255:

And I'm playing along with the CAS-ual Fridays CFC141 challenge: Embossing:

Now we’d love for you guys to play along in the Color Throwdown challenge with us!  Just use the 3 colors for your creation, then link your blog post (or website photo) directly to today’s post using the linky tool.  All the details can be found at the CTD blog.

Stunning card, Broni! The colors are so vibrant, and sunflower is tender and sweet!

[Amy Koenders]

Wow! Your card is beautiful! The sunflower coloring is just perfect and I love your clean and simple design. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Players, hope to see you again soon!

Now, this is downright scary!! I'm driving home and thinking about making an anniversary card for my cousins. I'm thinking a watercolor background with distress inks in seedless preserves and fossilized amber and a tag to put my image on. I get home and I tune into your channel and what do I see but you using very similar colors and a tag! PRETTY! Love the sunflower and the cool tag(nice size!). You always nail the sketch challenge, too. Well Done -- and do I dare try these colors and a tag now?!

Look at you....purple doesn't faze you a bit!! Love it!!

So bright and cheerful. Love that tag Broni and the pretty sunflower image.
