ColorThrowDown

ColorThrowDown#336 -- For my card I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Dusty Durango and Pistachio Pudding. I started with a clean clear acrylic block and just smooshed the ink pad in descending order on to the block. If there was excess ink I simply wiped it away with a damp paper towel. Then smooshed the next color and so on. Before applying paper to ink, I spritzed with block with a little water. With the block on a flat surface I laid white cardstock to ink. Let sit until all of the color was absorbed. Using my heat tool, I dried the cardstock. Then I stamped the tree from SU! set Forever Young and the sentiment is from TPC Studios. The set is called Faith Friends. Using my SU! markers in Pistachio Pudding and Dusty Durango I colored the leaves and the flowers framing my sentiment. Using a white gel pen I highlighted the tree and swing.

The sentiment reads : May God look down from Heaven above and bless your day with peace and love. --Thena Smith

I hope you all are having a blessed Easter weekend! Jesus is Risen! Let us sing praises and glory to God in the highest!!!

COLORQ204

Well, a funny thing happened. I made a card for the ColorQ Challenge #203. However, by the time I got my post all written up and ready to publish, #203 was closed. So, I immediately got to work on my card for ColorQ challenge #204 and I am posting it NOW! I don't want to delay and miss another deadline. Besides that I love my card so much I can not wait to SHARE IT! So here ya go.
I used stamps from Chocolate Baroque and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up! I colored the flowers with my Tombow Blender pen and my Stampin' Up! ink pads: Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Concord Crush and Lucky Limeade. All the flowers were stamped in distress ink color Black Soot. To each O in my sentiment I added a SU tiny pearl. Some Signo White gel pen here and there added some highlights.

 Here's a closeup of a couple of the flowers. This set from Chocolate Baroque is #UA5SP0422 Fancy Flowers. There are 12 different flowers in the set! I only used 5 on my card.

I LOVE these stamps as there is so much detail and they are so easy to color whether you used you ink pads and blender pen or go straight marker to paper or even use your Copics these stamps WILL NOT disappoint!

Ok now back to the challenge at ColorQ 204, I used all of the colors in the challenge and they all seemlessly go well together. Those brilliant gals! If you love this color combo and think you can make it work then go on over to COLORQ and try your hand. Even if you are not sure about the colors, give it a try anyway. I think you'll like the outcome.

This week, Dynamic Duos is celebrating their 1 Year Anniversary! Congratulations ladies on your continued success. I enjoy playing Dynamic Duos because the color combos are always a challenge for me. However, I love Poppy Parade and Lucky Limeade! Green is my favorite color and I just think these two colors complement each other so well. My card was created using DCWV dsp and Stampin' Up!
