Color Throwdown

Welcome to another Color Throwdown Challenge where yours truly is the hostess this week!  This photo inspired me to challenge you to use some springtime colors: pink, light green and kraft.  After recently buying this Floral and Flutter Bundle from Concord and 9th, I knew right away I wanted to do an emboss resist technique on my card.

I started by white embossing the florals on Ranger watercolor CS, then I watercolored with Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron distress inks then splattered with a mixture of Antique Linen and Scattered Straw.  I'm loving the open floral die that coordinates with this stamp set and adhered only the center with a tiny glue dot so the petals could be slightly curled up!  The sentiment is PTI's Wet Paint stamp and die set - cut once in metallic gold and once in kraft CS.  The Diagonal Stripe BG stamp is by My Favorite Things and was stamped using a MISTI with Little Piggy ink by WPlus9.  It's difficult to get thorough coverage with only one inking on a large background stamp, so the MISTI allows you to do it twice for a crisper image!  This card was created for my one DIL who hit the big 30 year birthday milestone last week!

Big congrats to our guest star stamper - Karren Johnson!  Be sure and stop by her blog and say hello!
