sending hugs | color throwdown 724

 hello hello & happy new year!!

I was inspired by the latest color challenge over at The Color Throwdown

There's nothing better than a bright color pop with neutrals... here's my take on the challenge:

I stamped the flower and leaves with black ink, then used the coordinating solid stamps to add the color - I chose Altenew's magenta for the flower and new silver sage for the leaves - I LOVE this subtle sage ink color! The flower/leaves were adhered with foam tape over a Pinkfresh die cut panel matted with black cardstock. The card base is a yummy (very old) piece of gray patterned paper. The sentiment was stamped in black ink and adhered with foam tape, and I added a few light grey enamel dots for embellishment. 

I also tapped into my new Altenew metallic watercolors - I painted over the flower with rose quartz and added a little prasiolite on the leaves - hard to capture in a photo, but you can see the shimmer here

Another fabulous Color Throwdown color inspiration, loved it!
