Hello! Just popping in with the new color challenge at The Color Throwdown, ctd346:
Since I couldn't go to the ONLY stamp show that was nearby, I made some on-line purchases... and I got myself some new Essentials by Ellen. I love the newest release, and finally the dies were back in stock. Yay for me!
CRAFTY TIPS:
- The background was colored with Gansai Tambi Kuratake watercolors. I die-cut the flowers and leaves and using those as my guide, I colored the paper underneath the die-cut images.
- The background was spritzed with Crumb Cake ink, using a marker and a spritzer tool.
- I am linking this up at the Essentials by Ellen June Mix-It Up Challenge with Altanew. I am so tickled that I have some products from both companies...
Thank you for stopping by,
Monika

WOW, how cleverly you've done the colouring of the flowers on the bg panel and then having the die cuts on top - it looks fantastic!!!! Love the cute wooden butterfly and I really like how you have matted your white panel on the grey and then on the black base. Another stunning creation, my friend!!!
