Color Throwdown

Check out this fabulous color combo that Tammy has chosen for the Color Throwdown Challenge! Happy, happy colors! 

I die cut the scalloped frame from Elegant Eggplant CS.  After die cutting then watercoloring the flowers and leaves using Tim Holtz distress ink markers (coloring directly onto the stamps, stamping on watercolor CS then blending slightly with a brush lightly loaded with water), I started layering up the floral collage basing it on this old Retrosketches layout.  Their current challenge #135 was to honor World Cardmaking Day this past Saturday and we had the choice to use any of their previous sketches in their archives!  I LOVE this sketch from July 14, 2012!

Here's what I used...
STAMPS: Pretty Peonies (WPlus9), Strictly Sentiments 2 (WPlus9), Ink Splats (WPlus9), Tape It (SU).
PAPER: Watercolor CS, Elegant Eggplant, White.
INK: Elegant Eggplant, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie.
ACCESSORIES: Rounded Scallop Frame Die (Verve), Pretty Peonies dies (WPlus9), Rhinestones (SU), TH distress markers  Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Dusty Concord, Peeled Paint, Crushed Olive.
