God Bless {Color Throwdown CTD346}


I'm back with another project as June Guest Designer for the Color Throwdown Challenge. This week's challenge colors are hot pink, green, gray and kraft.


I was inspired by these colors from nature and started out preparing the background panel by smooshing some watercolors in a random manner onto Ranger Water color paper using Ranger Distress Pickled Raspberry ink. I paired it up with a small strip of kraft cardstock cut with a die from the My Favorite Things Blueprints 15 set for a skinny border. I cut the tag from Soft Stone patterned paper using the Papertrey Ink Tag Sale #10 die, topping it with some hot pink ribbon. I stamped the image from the Papertrey Ink Bitty Bouquets stamp set with Rose Bud and Bamboo Leaves inks and then cut out with the matching Bitty Bouquet dies. The sentiment from the Verve Faith Medley set was stamped with kraft ink onto a double-ended fishtail banner cut from kraft cardstock. I spread the phrase out so that when I attached the floral bouquet to the tag with dimensional tape I could place the stem portion between the words. A few sequins finished it up.

Products: Papertrey Ink stamps, dies, patterned paper, ribbon and cs, Verve stamp, Ranger watercolor paper and ink, Stampin' Up cs, Doodlebug sequins, MFT die and ink, Memento inks
