You’re a True Friend–CTD #337

 

Hi, all, welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! I’m hosting this week and decided to use this fabulous scene from Rome for my inspiration piece. I’m dreaming of the day I get to go back but this will have to hold me until then ;-)





I started with a Kraft card stock base, then created my background on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper. To do that, I simply smooshed my Blueberry dye ink pad and my Blu Raspberry dye ink pad on my craft sheet, spritzed them with water and dragged my paper through it. I did this a several times to get the intensity I wanted—best to start light, you can always add color when you can’t easily take it away. When It was what I wanted, I dried it with my heat tool and cut it out with Blueprints 24 Die-namics, stamped the sentiment from True Friends with Black Licorice dye ink, and popped it up on foam mounting tape. My flowers and leaves are using Modern Blooms and Modern Blooms Die-namics and were stamped with Orange Zest dye ink, Orange Fizz dye ink, Sour Apple dye ink, and Black Licorice dye ink. They were also popped up on foam and the card was finished off with some enamel dots.

Another sentiment from True Friends was stamped on the inside. 




And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily.
