Hello Sunshine–CTD #325

CTD325_2015jan14

Hi, everyone, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown! Tammy has chosen an awesome color combo for us this week based on this totally retro designed fabric swatch.

I really so love this color combo, and I’m rather pleased with my card using them :) I started with a Grout Gray card stock base. On some water color paper I did a wash using Berrylicious dye ink refill, then added some embossing paste through Cloudy Day stencil. I added three Stitched Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics cut from the following: Orange Fizz card stock stamped with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and LJD Darling Dots, Berrylicious card stock stamped with LJD Spring Backgrounds and Steel Gray dye ink, and Steel Gray card stock stamped with Typewriter Text Background and Steel Gray dye ink. I stamped the sentiment, from MSTN I Love You More with Steel Gray dye ink and lightly colored the sun with Copic markers. Then I popped up a Sun, Moon, & Stars Die-namics sun cut from Banana Split card stock with foam mounting tape. I finished off with a few sequins.

On the inside is another sentiment from MSTN I Love You More, stamped with Steel Gray ink on Sweet Tooth card stock. If was matted with Berrylicious card stock, cut with Blueprints 13 Die-namics.
