Splashes of Watercolor

Make a Wish - Color Throwdown #690

~

Hi, y'all!  It's time for our latest and greatest Color Throwdown challenge.  This week our colors are Navy, Mustard, and Gray.

~

I'm not going to lie, I struggled with this one.  I usually am more comfortable with bright colors or soft beachy colors, so these darker colors threw me for a loop.  After much contemplation, I came up with using an A Colorful Life Coiled stencil as a background for a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Bold Text #1 sentiment.

I'm satisfied with how it turned out, especially if you back way up and focus on the spiraling effect of the Coiled Stencil.

Now it's your turn to play along with us!  Be sure to visit with the DT members first for some awesome inspiration!

Sending Big Hugs - Color Throwdown #686

Hi, guys!  I'm here with my card for the latest Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our colors are Purple, Sage Green, and Cream.

~

~

I needed a sympathy card for a friend who lost her dear uncle, and I know she loves purple so a big purple heart was in order.

~

~

I used the beautiful Spatter Heart stencil from A Colorful Life Designs for my heart and outlined it in black. The background is stenciled using a stencil from the Tim Holtz mini stencil set 26. The sentiment from The Ton was highlighted with a white gel pen and everything was shaded using a Copic T1 sketch marker. I also added some Glossy Accents on the big HUGS.
