Color Throwdown

Yes, it's hump day and that means there's a new Color Throwdown challenge on board. I would LOVE having that view outside my dining room window...but I can only dream!  Here's my take on the colors: hot pink, lime green, gray and kraft.

I had quite an "adventure" making this card!  I started with watercolor paper and added 3 distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Peeled Paint and Pumice Stone) for a color wash background. Epic fail. The gray just looked too muddy.  I decided to salvage it by placing this Fishnet stencil by MFT over it and sponging more green in sporadic areas - leaving the pink areas more open.  The floral branch of flowers is from Altenew's Vintage Flowers set and they are so much fun to play with.  I only used a hint of gray in the sentiment and with the Silver Liquid Pearl flower centers.  What I thought might be a total disaster was actually saved from the trashcan and an OK card after all. :-)
