Color Throwdown

It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge and I'll have to confess...it took me three tries to finally come up with acceptable ink pads to match the colors.  I ended up really loving the colors (purple, mint green, hot pink, teal) chosen by Lynn - our hostess this week!  In my first two attempts, my pinks were too red...the blue was almost navy...then the green was an olive shade and not mint green.  I think I finally got it right with this version - lol!  

The stamps are from a newly released set with matching die - the Hope Bundle - by Concord and 9th.  The HOPE die was so unique, plus I fell in love with the beautiful font used with the multiple choices of sentiments to coordinate with the HOPE die.  I layered some black cardstock behind the die.  The violet flower centers are from Reverse Confetti's Garden Bunch set.

STAMPS: Hope Blooms (Concord and 9th).
INK: Picked Raspberry Distress ink; Wilted Violet and Broken China Oxide inks; Mint Macaron by SU; Versafine Onyx Black.

Big congrats to Nonni Niskanen - our guest star stamper this week!  Be sure to stop by her blog - Nonni's Handmade Cards - and say hello.
