Did y'all see the NEW Distress color?!? It's Kitsch Flamingo!!! You can check it out HERE <------click! I watched Tim Holtz's live video when he revealed it - and LOVED it (and yeah I've said that about all the past new colors and will continue to say that about every new color that's released. We have 8 more to go! I love color 😍😍😍). Simon Says Stamp sent me the new bundle (I design for them!) and it showed up this week! TOTALLY made my week, and of course I had to start playing with it.
It was perfect for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the Design Team created with these colors HERE <----click! and play along yourself if you'd like!
Here's what I made:
I used Distress Oxide sprays in 4 colors: Kitsch Flamingo, Shaded Lilac, Squeezed Lemonade and Cracked Pistachio, and created a smooshed ink background with them on Distress watercolor paper. Once dry I die cut it with Honey Bee's Quilted A2 Coverplate die.
For the main image I white heat embossed the envelope and flowers stamp from Honey Bee's Pretty Postage stamp set onto Distress watercolor paper. I used the same Distress Oxide Sprays as the background and watercolored the image with them. Once dry I die cut it with the coordinating wafer die and popped it onto the background panel with foam tape.
I used the Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and blended it onto a scrap of the watercolor paper then die cut it with the Adore wafer die word. I stacked that with a couple layers for dimension, and added white heat embossed sentiments from the coordinating Adore stamp set.
I stamped the Pretty Postage image onto the inside of the card using the Kitsch Flamingo Oxide ink, then added a white heat embossed sentiment from the same set that was die cut with the coordinating wafer die and that was it!
