Hello everyone!
I'm the host for this week's Color Throwdown challenge! Make sure to check out the CTD blog post HERE <-----click! to see what the rest of the team created and to play along!
Here's what I made with these colors:
I was originally going to create something birthday/balloon-themed - but then I was looking at this Mama Elephant Timeless Tulips and wondered what it would look like if I painted the tulips with pale pink and pale purple. So then I pulled out my Distress Inks and some Bristol Smooth card stock and white embossing powder and got to work.
Normally I would reach for my Canson XL watercolour paper as that's my favourite "go-to" for watercoloring, but I wanted to try the Bristol Smooth this time as I seem to be getting better results with it lately. Today was another win - the inks moved well and I was happy with the end result!
It's not as easy to see in pics, but I coated the flowers with Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle and the shimmer when the light catches it is just gorgeous. I did some sponging on another piece of Bristol Smooth using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink before attaching the tulips to it.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the tulips again with the Milled Lavender Distress ink and stamping another sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and that was it!
