It's hump day and that means another Color Throwdown Challenge is up and running! Lisa is our hostess this week and has chosen navy, teal blue, coral and cream for the colors. I went with some distress oxide ink blending again...using my new fave Picket Fence blending brushes. The triangular patchwork on the quilt in the photo led me to using the Triangles Cover Panel die by Reverse Confetti.
STAMPS: Butterfly Dreams (Reverse Confetti).
PAPER: Vintage Cream (PTI).
INK: Abandoned Coral, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire distress oxide inks by Ranger.
DIES: Triangles Cover Panel and Butterfly Dreams (Reverse Confetti).
So that's all for now. We'd love to have
you play along with us this week! For more inspiration from the rest of
the talented design team, you can visit their links below.
I'm playing along with the color challenge on the CAS Colours and Sketches blog and I'm using the Gina K Designs' Wreath Builder stamp set yet again! LOVE the endless possible designs that can be incorporated...even from other sets which I'm anxious to try out soon! I subbed Pink Pirouette ink since I don't own Powder Pink.
I opted to place the square on an A2 sized base and added the score lines to balance it out better.
So that's my quick post for the day...I'll be back tomorrow with a new Color Throwdown creation!

I'm really having fun playing with the Gina K Wreath Builder stamp set with templates that make it so stinkin' easy to get a symmetrical, circular wreath design! I used the colors for the current Just Add Ink color challenge and I used Julee Tilman's great sketch for the
current Mojo Monday Sketch challenge.
STAMPS: Wreath Builder Bundle by Gina K Designs.
PAPER: Coastal Cabana and Fresh Prints paper stack by Stampin' Up; White (PTI).
INK: Pale Peony, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores (PTI); Memento Tuxedo Black.
Thanks so much for stopping by...

STAMPS: Gradient Sunset (Altenew).
PAPER: True Black and White (PTI).
INK: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Fired Brick distress inks by Ranger; Memento Tuxedo Black.

team, please check out their creations HERE. Hope to see you in the gallery! Have a blessed day! ~Wanda
My matching dies to the Delicate Flowers stamp set (Simon Says Stamp) finally arrived yesterday and I jumped at the chance to play with them this morning! I colored with Copics after white embossing the images on X-Press It Blending Card paper. I'm entering this card into the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and also to the Anything Goes theme for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
I've neglected my embossing folders for a long time, and am trying
to get into the habit of adding more texture to my cards by using them! This one is called Bricked by Sizzix and was lightly sponged with Silver Lining ink (WPlus9). I thought this trellis look patterned paper from MFT's Black and White Basics 6x6 pad would pair up nicely with the brick background.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting...

I was intrigued by the retro inspiration photo for the current Card Concept Challenge so I proceeded with a clean and layered birthday card! I used this new die by Reverse Confetti to highlight the circle element and nothing says retro better than pink and aqua colors! So there was my inspiration for coloring up this fun cake image from Reverse Confetti's Cake and Champagne set. Coloring was with Copics on X-Press It Blending Card.
The sentiment is from RC's So Many Sentiments set and was die cut using Taylored Expressions Simple Strips die. A trio of clear dew drops were added along with highlighting the ribbon and flowers with Clear Star Gelly Roll pen by Sakura.
COPICS: BG11, BG13, BG49, RV11, RV32, RV34, YG03, YG93, C1, C3, C5.

Yup! The melons are back again and this time they are being featured on the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge! These are the last ones from my recent "smooshing" session where I applied distress oxide inks to my glass mat then spritzed with water and smooshed the ink onto watercolor paper. So fun!
Ink colors: Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, Twisted Citron, Cracked Pistachio, Mowed Lawn. At the end of smooshing the 3 green colors together, I splattered Mowed Lawn over it all.
This was a fun sketch using 3 different patterns from MFT's Black and White Basics 6x6" pad paired with white cardstock.
STAMPS: Sweet Summertime (MFT).
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black; Distress Inks (see above description).
DIES: Watermelon Slice (MFT); Stitched Rectangle STAX (MFT).
