It’s Wednesday, and that means another edition of the CTD! This week Barbara has chosen an interesting color combo….very earthy!
Once I saw these shades of Yoyo Yellow, Garden Green and Soft Suede, my thoughts immediately went to a retired SU set that I love to watercolor, and I went to work!
I stamped the image on Naturals Ivory cardstock and watercolored it with Garden Green and Crushed Curry, as I thought the Yoyo Yellow would be a little too bright. I did add a little bit of Frost White shimmer paint to the flower, just to add a little subtle shine. I stamped some of the other floral images on my Soft Suede and Garden Green DPs. Label 4 Nesties were used for the main panels, along with a “distressed” sentiment from Three Little Words. The sketch is from Karen’s Sweet Sunday Sketch #62:
I really thought these colors were soft, subtle and soothing enough to make a sympathy card, so I added this sentiment and image to the inside:
So now let’s see what you can come up with these colors! Check out all the details on the CTD blog and play along with us. Here are links to the other designers for even more inspiration:
