Hello, friends!

It’s time for our latest edition of the Color Throwdown challenge!  And it’s a new month so we’re also welcoming a brand new guest designer.

I just got this awesome new die set called Dainty Flowers from Paper Smooches on a recent shopping trip at Ellen Hutson’s shop and I couldn’t wait to play with it!  Here’s what I came up with:

~

I used the smooshing technique for the kraft and blue background and I used a water brush to paint the die cut flowers.

~

I also used my Copic markers to shade and highlight the flowers.  They’re popped up on foam mounting tape too.

The layout is from this week's awesome CAS(E) this sketch #134:
