Hello friends!
OK - this week's Color Throwdown challenge:
You can check out what the rest of the team created with these colors HERE <------click! and there's still time to play along if you'd like!
So the other day I was drooling over this card and video that Debby posted <----click! I LOVE Debby's cards, I've raved about her multiple times lol. I am a big fan and draw a lot of inspiration from her watercoloring and whatnot. So I was definitely channeling her card and decided to play around with my Distress Oxide Sprays and die cuts and stencils and made this card:
I created a splattery background on watercolor paper using Speckled Egg, Tea Dye, Weathered Wood and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Sprays. It's REALLY hard to see in the pics but I used Simon Says Stamp's Spring Boho Circle Stencil with Crackle Paste over the stencil (the crackle paste I've been using dries more transparent than what I link to and recommend to you all. My order of the Ranger Crackle Paste will get here eventually lol!).
I die cut Simon's Etched Laurel Leaves wafer dies from watercolor paper, and added Bundled Sage and Tea Dye Distress Oxide Sprays. From the same watercolor paper I die cut the Bitty Birdhouse wafer die set and used Weathered Wood and Tea Dye Distress Oxide Spray.
The Thanks sentiment is from Simon's Happy Thanks Giving wafer die set.
On the inside of the card I used the Spring Boho Circle Stencil and blended some Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink over it. I then stamped (one of my FAVORITE) a sentiment from the Thankful Heart stamp set using a combo of Simon's Khaki ink and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink. I paired the card with a Metallic Khaki envelope and that was it!
