Hi everyone! It's almost St. Patrick's Day so the color combo for the new Color Throwdown Challenge #484 fits perfectly! I made a clean and simple card that is striking with it's watercolors and simple die-cuts!
I started with some Tim Holtz woodgrain watercolor paper which has amazing detail! I did some ink smooshing using a variety of purple distress inks and then added a few splatters with a paint brush. Once the ink was dry I added a light cover of Nuvo glitter pen to most of thea areas of ink.
I stuck with leafy die-cuts to mimic the greenery in the inspiration pic and used three different green papers- one solid and two patterned. I also added in a bit of the patterned paper to the side of the background along with a tinny strip of deep purple. Some sparkly clear silvery sequins add just a bit of shine!
Thanks for checking out my blog! Bee Happy!!
Supplies Used:
My Favorite Things Blueprints 10, 14 (retired)
