Color Throwdown

Hi everyone! It's my turn to host the Color Throwdown Challenge and I've got a classic color combo that will hopefully make you happy: red, green and white!  Remember, you can pair it with another neutral, so black was my choice to really make the colors pop! 

I created a watercolor wash background using Yellow Green and Olive Green from my Gold Class Mission watercolor set.  I then splattered some droplets of water over the dried paints which I just realized I covered most of them up with florals - lol!  The flowers - from Altenew's Peony Scrolls set - were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on X-Press It Blending Card then die cut with matching dies.  I popped the peonies with foam tape for added dimension.  The striped paper is from Recollections' Black and White collection.  See that wee bitty scalloped red border?  It's one of the fun new border dies by Reverse Confetti called Edgelit Essentials.  The sentiment - Label Love by Altenew - was stamped twice using a MISTI then fussy cut and popped with foam tape.  

We're so happy to have Kim Singdahlsen from Joyful Creations as our new guest designer for the month of July!  I've been a follower and fan for a long time and can't wait to see what she'll create!

Congrats to Harriet Skelly of Alley Cat Cards for winning our guest star stamper spot this week!  You don't want to miss her gorgeous creation!
