There's a new Color Throwdown Challenge on board and I really love these soft romantic colors that Broni chose for us! Isn't that inspiration room gorgeous?!
I was totally inspired by the rug design (which led me to use the Kassie's Brocade embossing folder) and the vase of tulips on the ottoman. It's been WAY too long since I inked up this tulip image from Flourishes - one of my faves to color with Copics! I layered two of the Reverse Confetti tag dies to form an elongated tag behind the image. I struggled a bit with how to add a sentiment and finally went with this simple layering of punched ovals.
