Check out these sweet colors brought to you by the fabulous Vickie for the Color Throwdown Challenge! Isn't that dress so gorgeous? Of course, it was calling out for me to do a floral card...my favorite! The colors were also very close to the newest distress inks that were released in January and February - Cracked Pistachio and Abandoned Coral. Tim Holtz is releasing a new color every month this year and I've been itching to use them!
I used a Copic marker - BG23 - to highlight a few of the leaves then water colored some Squeezed Lemonade ink around the image and added some dew drops. Remember those from many years ago when they were all the rage? My MISTI was so handy for perfect placement of the flowers (have I said how much I can't do without this new tool?!). The patterned paper is from the mini deck "DeLovely" 6x6 pad by Cosmo Cricket.

Gorgeous!! I have the new distress inks too but, haven't tried them out yet....along with the MISTI that's been in my craft room for several weeks....soo bad!!
This is beautiful! Like Tammy, I have this set and haven't used it in way too long. Love how you added the soft yellow watercolor background to the image panel.
Pretty card, Wanda! You remind me that I have that Wplus9 set, and it's being sadly neglected!
