Chinese Lantern - Color Throwdown #462

~

Hello, friends!

It’s time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge.  Our lovely Barbara is the hostess this week and here are the great colors she’s chosen for our first challenge of Autumn – Rust, Green, Orange, Aqua.

~

~

Today I’m using the beautiful new digital image from Power Poppy called Chinese Lantern, with a sweet sentiment from the Juicy Strawberries digi set.

~

~

I printed the images on Bristol paper and used my Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers to watercolor the background and several of the regular Distress inks to color the flowers and berries (listed separately in the supply list at the end of the post).

This is such a beautiful fall image, don’t you think?

I’m entering this card into the Addicted to CAS challenge #120 – key word Florals.

So now it’s your turn to pick up the fall colors and create something to play along with us at the Color Throwdown.

But first be sure to check out all the lovely creations from the talented designers:

That's a lovely card, I love these Chinese lanterns. In France we're calling these "Love in cage"...

Aqua shouts "Beachy" to me, but you pulled it off beautifully on this fall creation. Neat image. You color so pretty. That black paper is cool. I need to play with my water brush and the distress oxides. I really just need a paid holiday to stay home and mess around with my art stuff.

I've been thinking about this image this fall. How beautiful it is on your card all painted up in those rich, autumn colors! How did I miss that this was available as a digi? I have it in a clear stamp set.

Such a pretty card. Terrific technique! Thanks for sharing at ATCAS!

I'm not sure what happened to my comment, so I'll try it again...This is such a beautiful card! I love the blooms and how you watercolored them with your distress inks! Lovely background with your Oxide ink, too!
Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at Addicted to CAS!
