Color Throwdown

Jumpin' Jehosaphat, it's June already!  Are you ready for these fabulous earthy colors -kraft, green and cream - for the new Color Throwdown Challenge? I certainly was when I saw hostess Jodi's color picks!  

OK...I took some liberties with this one since Tim Holtz doesn't have an exact kraft distress ink color.  I checked my color chart and thought Tea Dye and Scattered Straw looked close.  They're in the light brown family, so I went with both colors to create the watercolor wash background and then used them to stamp some of the foliage!  I also went with multiple greens - Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Crushed Olive.  To add a little pizzazz, I included a gold embossed sentiment on vellum and gold sequins.  The watercolored panel was matted with Garden Green CS over a kraft base.

STAMPS: Autumn Leaves (WPlus9), Sending, Hoping, Wishing (WPlus9).
PAPER: Kraft (PTI), Garden Green (SU), Vellum, Ranger watercolor CS.

A big CONGRATS to our guest star stamper - Kathy Schweinfurth of Stamps At Play! Be sure to stop by her blog to comment on her beautiful card! 

Since it's a new month, we say goodbye to Jill Hawkins who guested in May and say hello to our new guest designer - Kara Vrabel of K and R Designs!  So happy to welcome Kara who will be sharing her creative talents with us!
