Hey everyone! As is the story of my life - I'm playing catch up with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
Check out the CTD blog post here to see all the fabulous cards the rest of the team created <-----click! and to play along if you'd like!
Here's what I came up with:
I pulled out an older Simon Says Stamp set - Summertime Animals - and combined it with the new Dancing Fruits stamp set.
I stamped all the images onto hot press watercolour paper (which has a really smooth finish. Like I mention in the video a person could use Bristol Smooth card stock and achieve probably the same results since I didn't go heavy on the water on this) with SSS Intense Black ink then watercolored them in with my Gansai Tambi watercolours and a water brush.
I HAD to add little google eyes to all the flamingos - they were begging for them LOL!
To finish off the inside of the card I stamped the solid pineapple image from the Dancing Fruits set with different Distress Oxide inks (the Fossilized Amber is a slightly darker yellow than I'd like - I cannot wait till Squeezed Lemonade is available as a Distress Oxide!!) and that was it!
To see how this card came together check out my video below:

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. SSS = Simon Says Stamp, AZ = Amazon, MFT = My Favourite Things, SnS = Scrap N Stamp (Canada) etc. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
