Hi friends... it's time for another Color Throwdown challenge, and this week Joan is taking us for a walk on the wild side with this inspiration photo...
I struggle when using anything close to blue and pink... I just automatically want to make a baby card. But at this point in my life, I don't find myself with a need for baby cards very often! So I was really glad when the idea for this card jumped into my head!
I finally used the Crazy Birds stamp set that I just HAD to have a few months back! LOVE these silly birds! I colored very simply with Copics, then masked the image and splattered some gray ink on the card stock. The Seriously Word Die is from Lil' Inker Designs. Before I cut the light pink card stock, I sponged some darker pink ink onto the card stock, then die-cut to create the ombre look. The sentiment was stamped on black card stock, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I mounted the background panel to a piece of black and white striped paper, and then to a white card base. I finished the design with some enamel dots.
Be sure to stop by the CTD blog for all the challenge details. And visit my Throwdown sisters for more inspiration!
