Flora & Fauna - (CTD478)

Hello!  It’s my turn as hostess for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge and I chose a colorful cozy inspiration photo with the bright color of hot pink, lime green, yellow and pale blue.  I’m looking forward to see what everyone creates!

 I created two cards for the challenge this week using a mix of Flora & Fauna stamps.  For my first card, I used the tea cup, the hello sentiment and a few stem images from the Owl Always Love You set and I also stamped flowers and stems and a butterfly from the Oh Hello Friend, Butterfly Jar and Aviary Love sets.  I did a lot of masking creating my card, stamping the tea cup first then masking it off to add the flowers and stems and then watercolored all of my images.  As a final touch, I added some pink rhinestones and stamped some tiny pink hearts.

 For my second card, I went with a clean and simple look and stamped the snail from the Aviary Love set on top of the mushroom from the Owl Always Love You set and then stamped the bottle/terrarium and a mix of stems from all of the sets I mention above.  I watercolored my images, added foam tape and adhered my panel to a piece of limeade ice cardstock which I had randomly stamped using the stem images.
