Waterlilies--Color Throwdown #44

[Don't forget, there's blogaversary candy waiting for someone to claim! Be sure to check out this post for the details!]

OK, it's Color Throwdown Challenge day!! Today's colors were chosen by Tammy Hershberger and she chose Elegant Eggplant, Barely Banana, and Bordering Blue. This week's challenge is sponsored by Stamping Out Alzhiemer's, so be sure to check it out and make a donation to the fight against this terrible disease.


Just so happens, these colors are in Basic Grey's new collection called Wisteria. And it just so happens I have some of it ;-) I'm using Jen del Muro's SFYTT for this week. My base card is Very vanilla with layers of Elegant Eggplant and DP, treated to a border punch. The next element is Bordering Blue, Barely Banana and more DP with two corners rounded. The focal image is an Inkadinkado stamp that has no name on it. I stamped it on Gina K Pure Luxury 80lb paper with Memento London Fog ink since I wanted a soft look for this card. I'm anxious to use it again with brighter colors. It was colored with Copic markers (see below) and cut/embossed with a Nestabilities die. It was then matted with Barely Banana and Elegant Eggplant and popped up on 3M foam squares. I tied a piece of my favorite dark purple ribbon on a spiral clip and clipped it to the left upper corner, then added some bright "gold" brads stuck through some circles of Elegant Eggplant punched with my 1/4" punch. And that's about it!
