Lilacs in Pitcher--Color Throwdown #32

It's time for the Color Throwdown Challenge--we're up to #32! Today's colors were chosen by Broni Holcombe and they were a challenge: Barely Banana, Pretty In Pink, and Regal Rose. I really had to give this one some thought, but I like what I finally came up with.



My base card is Whisper White with layer of Pretty In Pink and more Whisper White run through my Cuttlebug with the Textile embossing folder. The next element is Regal Rose and Barely Banana cut/embossed with my large and small Labels dies. A sheer pink ribbon and bow were added at this point. The focal image was stamped with a new Lockhart stamp, Lilacs in Pitcher on Solar White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic markers (see below for colors used). It was then cut/embossed with an oval Nestabilities die and matted on Pretty In Pink and Regal Rose, also cut/embossed with Nestabilities dies and popped up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment is from a My Favorite Things set called Essential Sentiments and was stamped on Solar White with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and punched with the small oval punch. It was matted with Pretty In Pink and Regal Rose and is also up on foam squares. Dew Drops from the Primary collection add a few accents and finish it off.
