You Are Awesome–CTD #351

Hello, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! Monika has chosen a really awesome color combo for us this week—one that I would never have chosen, for sure, but I LOVE what I came up with in the end!




I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then stamped Garden Flourish Background on some Ranger watercolor paper with Versamark and heat embossed it with white detail embossing powder. Then I did a little water color wash with my Zigs, roughly drew around a double border on the base with a black fine point marker, and popped the embossed panel up on foam mounting tape. Next I added a Large Leaf-Filled Flourish Die-namics, cut from silver glitter card stock. I cut Flutter of Butterflies – Solid from Ranger watercolor paper and colored it with my Zigs, adding Flutter of Butterflies – Lace on top, cut from black glitter paper, popped up on foam. The sentiment is from Simply Fabulous Sayings and was stamped on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then colored the “Amazing” with a Copic marker. I finished off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins and it was done!

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.
