Hey everyone! I've had issues with editing lately (all resolved finally!) - so here's my card and video for last week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
This is a slimline 3.5 x 8.5" card.
I pulled out Simon Says Stamp's Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp and die set to make another slimline card. If you haven't seen all my recent slimline card posts you can find some of them at the links below:

So many fun cards. I'll be posting more slimline cards as I make them - I'm really enjoying this size as a fun diversion from making A2 size cards all these years!
I stamped the large floral stamp from the Beautiful Flowers 2 stamp set onto Ranger watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink then watercolored it using the Prima Classics watercolor palette. I added splatter using the watercolor palette as well as Ranger Perfect Pearl powder and water for the shimmery splatter.
The background was done using Simon's Diagonal Stripes stencil over white card stock. I blended Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink over the stencil, then removed the stencil and blended Weathered Wood Distress Oxide ink over it. More splatter was added of course.
On the inside of the card I stamped the large floral using Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink and then stamped a sentiment from the Thankful Flowers set with the Nocturne ink. I used another sentiment from the Thankful Flowers set and heat embossed it onto the front of the card using Wendy Vecchi Sunflower embossing powder.
Of course no slimline card of mine wouldn't be complete without a matching envelope. I used some Doodlebug patterned paper from my stash and the Trinity Stamps Slimline Envelope Builder die set and that was it!
