Hey everyone!! This week's Color Throwdown challenge is live now:
You can check out the challenge HERE <---------click! to see what the rest of the team created using these colors and to play along if you'd like!
Here's what I created:
I used my MUCH loved Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers stamp set for my card. I LOOOOVVVEEE this set (hence the "take 8" in the title - this is the 8th video/post I've done using it LOL!) and still reach for it often.
I created a mask for the image using my big Judikins Eclipse masking roll (linked in the supplies below). I remember way back (I'm talking over 10 years ago) when these became available and how hard they were to get and how I literally saved up to get myself one. Like I mention in the video they disappeared for a long time and I stopped using mine as I don't like showing products that you can't get anymore (the comments and emails I get when I do get extreme sometimes). However it's been back for some time now as well as a TON of other masking products (we have soooooo many more options now than we used to!) so I thought I'd use it again today!
Anywho - I stamped and masked the flowers, then blended on Watering Can dye ink by Wendy Vecchi. I then added some splatter with Iced Spruce Distress Oxide Spray, removed the mask and coloured the images in with Copics.
I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the flowers with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink and pairing the card with a bright yellow envelope 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.
