Hummingbird Thanks - Color Throwdown #484

~

Hey, y’all!  We’ve come upon another Wednesday, so that means a brand new Color Throwdown challenge! 

This week our hostess, Amy Rohl, has a bold & bright color combo for us – Eggplant, Green, and White.

It’s almost time here in the South for the hummingbirds to show up.  They almost always show up on April 1st and stick around our area until September 1st, sometimes a little later.  I’m anxious for them to come back.  I love the little whirring sound they make when they’re flitting about, and they’re so much fun to watch.

So when I saw the cute Hummingbird Thanks stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh, I just had to have it!  And here’s what I came up with using this week’s colors -

This little guy was watercolored with a Zig Clean Color marker (No. 080 Violet) and he’s flitting about a WPlus9 Pretty Peonies flower.  The background was smooshed using Distress inks.

Now it’s your turn to play along with us.  Check out the details at the CTD blog and grab some fabulous inspiration from the design team too!

You Are Mer-mazing - Color Throwdown #483

~

Hello, you guys!  I’m the hostess for the Color Throwdown challenge this week.

I’m ready for some warm weather to come and stay awhile so I chose some fresh Spring (or Summer) colors for this week: Coral, Green, and Kraft. 

~

I thought these colors would work well for a Mer-mazing underwater scene, using the super sweet Mermaid Love stamp set from Flora & Fauna.  If you look closely you’ll see a tiny hint of blue water in the background.

I stamped the shell throne and the sea plants first and then water colored everything!  The cute mermaid was also water colored, die cut, and popped up on her throne using some foam mounting tape.

We would LOVE for you to play along with us!  I bet you’ll come up with some fabulous uses for these colors!

Now here are some wonderful creations from the incredible design team for your inspiration.
