Color Throwdown #785 and NBUS #60

Hey there crafty friends.  I'm glad you dropped by.  

Today's card features my new tulips from Papertrey Ink that I colored to fit the challenge at Color Throwdown.

The color of my blossoms was inspired by a video I saw from Tina Smith - light yellow inked with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide.  The green leaves are inked with Lucky Clover.  I hadn't used my C9 Double Stripe Card Front Die in quite a while and thought it would make a great background.  The sentiment from Stampendous was stamped in gray on an Altenew Apothecary label.

Since my tulips are new I'm sending my card to NBUS.  It's also the first time I've used the sentiment too.

Have a great weekend.

Color Throwdown #783

Hey there.  I'm so glad you dropped by.

The soft colors of the challenge at Color Throwdown spoke to me, especially after seeing a card on Pinterest that used a once favorite older set from SSS.  I thought I saved it to give reference but I guess not. 

Artful Flowers were stamped on watercolor paper and colored with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.  The background was colored with Bundled Sage DI and covered with an Altenew striped plate cut in GinaK ivory.  I couldn't let those off cuts go to waste so I made a second card.

The cuts are glued to an Ocean Tide panel and layered on an ivory card base.  This time the flowers were stamped using CP Pink Champagne and arranged left to right.  A little spritzing added some interest.  A darker color way gives an entirely different feel to this card. 

Have a great week!
