Watercolored Thank You - Color Throwdown #394

~

HELLO!!  And happy Wednesday to you!

Are you ready for the next Color Throwdown challenge?  Our newbie and oh-so-talented design team member Amy Rohl is the hostess this week and she’s chosen a wonderful color combo for us!

Yes, I would like to dive head first into that cake!  It looks so scrumptious!!

I needed a thank you card recently and I wanted it to be extra special, so I looked through my Pinterest boards and that led me to Kristina Werner’s blog.  I love everything she does, of course, and so I decided to try her watercolor technique for this card.  I love how it turned out!  So did the recipient, I might add.

I stamped and white-embossed the bloom from the Simon Says Stamp Spring Flowers set and used Color Bursts (turquoise and orchid) to paint the background.  Then I used fuschia, crimson and lime green to paint the flower and stem.  Finally I white-embossed the sentiment from the Essentials by Ellen Fancy Thanks set and added some sequins.

Now it’s your turn to play with these great colors!  Link up over at the CTD blog and be sure to check out all the fabulous inspiration from the DT:

Broni, you card is beautiful! Your watercolored background is magical looking with the way you blended the colors.

Anything you do with watercolors is always fabulous, and especially with the white embossing and that sprinkling of sequins. I absolutely love this!

The Challenge #74 - Herd It's Your Birthday ~ Hey, guys! It’s Monday all over again and the best thing about that is that it’s time for a new The Challenge. Since it’s the 4th one of the month, it’s time for a masculine challenge. Those are always the hardest for me. ~ ~ Now I looked and looked and finally discovered that I have no tractors in my stamp collection. (I really find that hard to believe since I have 3 grandsons.) So I went with the farm theme and pulled out my On the Farm stamp set and matching dies from Papertrey Ink. ~ ~ I...

The Challenge #75 - Out of the Cage ~ Hello, everyone! It’s Monday again, and it’s Memorial Day! A huge thank you to all the wonderful service men and women who have given their lives in service to our country. Since this is the 5th Monday of the month, at The Challenge we have a Wildcard challenge and Lesley has given us a great sketch to play with! ~ ~ I’ve had this Birdcage die for quite a while and never used it, so I thought now would be a good time to try it out! It works so well with the parrot from the Polynesian Paradise stamp...
