Yesterday was a busy day and the colors for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge had my brain in a whirl ... so after much thinking and pondering, I finally came up with a design. What do you think??? Kraft is my LEAST-favorite color
My main image is by RubberCottage.com ... the sentiment is by Rosebud Rubber Stamps and the dragonfly comes from the Stampin' Up "Infinite Goodness" set. I stamped the image onto Whisper White cs with Versafine black ink then clear embossed. I sponged over the image using More Mustard and Summer Sun inks then wiped with a clean cloth. The flowers were colored in with American Crafts gel pens. (click for larger view)
Details:
Stamps: SU Infinite Goodness, Rosebud Rubber Stamps, RubberCottage.com
Papers: Kraft, Black, White, Melon Mombo, Crushed Curry
Inks: Versafine Black, More Mustard, Summer Sun
Accessories: Martha Stewart picket fence border punch, SU Melon Mombo grosgrain ribbon, Detail Clear ep, Kaiser mini pearls, sponges, American Crafts gel pens, swivel craft knife.
