Birthday Balloons–CTD #346

Hi, there, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! I’m hosting this week and I’ve drawn my colors from this lovely Italian landscape.




I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then added a strip of Ranger watercolor paper on which I’d stenciled with Bold Paisley Stencil and the following dye inks: Razzle Berry dye ink, Kraft dye ink, Sour Apple dye ink, Steel Gray dye ink. I popped it up on foam after added some Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics cut from Razzle Berry card stock and a couple of stamped up backgrounds: Sheet Music Background and Fine Check Background. The sentiment is from MSTN Happy Pandas and was stamped on a flag from Blueprints 25 Die-namics with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then also popped up. The balloons are from the same set and were stamped with Black Licorice hybrid ink and water colored with the challenge colors. I tied around some gray hemp baker’s twine, added some glitter stars and was done!

A sentiment from LJD Birthday Greetings 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.
