Happy hump day and welcome to another Color Throwdown Challenge! Amy Rohl is our hostess this week and she's chosen an awesome color combo - aqua, lime green and gray! Here is my card...
The challenge was perfect for me to use my two favorite distress inks - Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron. I smooshed ink on acrylic blocks, spritzed with water then pressed some Ranger watercolor cardstock over the blocks until I had a good mix of color. I dried the ink with a heat gun between color changes. The watercoloring makes this card eligible for Concord and 9th's second Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge.
STAMPS: Love You. Mean It and Barnwood Background by Concord and 9th.
INK: Silver Lining, Fairy Dust (WPlus9); Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron (Tim Holtz' distress inks); Versafine Onyx Black.
DIES: By Your Side Bird die by Concord and 9th; Traditional Tags STAX by MFT.
