Hi everyone! It's yours truly hosting the Color Throwdown Challenge this week! Hope you'll enjoy playing with these colors inspired by this sweet little bathroom nook! Here is what I came up with...
This was my first attempt at using Dreamweaver translucent embossing paste with a tweed pattern stencil by Hero Arts . Love that it gives a tone on tone sheen to the background! I didn't want to cover it up too much, so opted for a leafy flourish and some rolled roses with a tiny banner sentiment.
