Hey everyone! It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge:
Make sure to head on over to the CTD blog HERE <-----click! to see what the rest of the team created and to play along if you can!
Here's what I came up with using these colors:
I pulled out MFT's Sketched Blooms 2 stamp set, and some Distress Oxide Inks. LOL I had totally forgot that there was a more "green" green in the Distress Oxides (since there's only the 12 available so far) as I always reach for the Cracked Pistachio but that green wouldn't "go" with this color challenge. Good thing I looked through though and saw the Peeled Paint as it was the perfect shade of green for this!
I stamped the outlines with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto the smooth side of Distress watercolour paper, then inked up the solid images with the Distress Oxide inks, sprayed them lightly with water and stamped them onto the paper. I then took my water brush and pulled the color out a bit just to make everything a little more messy and "watercolour-ey" looking.
As I was making this card I remembered that I'd bought all the Tonic Nuvo Jewel Drops (I keep them all in a drawer which means they're out of sight - which means I forget all the time...), so I pulled them out and used them to add some embellishment to the card. This picture was taken before they were completely dry so they're more transparent now then they look here which I just love.
I finished off the inside of the card with a stamped and heat embossed sentiment and stamped one of the images with the Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink (stamping it multiple times before pressing it to the ink pad again) and that was it!

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the product images have sets of letters below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased.
