Hello there. I was lucky enough to be the winner for a recent challenge at The Color Throwdown, and as such invited to be a guest for an upcoming challenge.

As you can see, the colours this time round are Pink, Mint, and Grey. Here is my card:

The flowers and foliage were created using a couple of die sets from Concord & 9th, along with some of their card stock, and some card stock from Heffy Doodle.

A light grey for the branched of the main spray, with a slightly darker grey for the smaller sprigs.

I stuck the layers together on the main spray, then popped in some other florals here and there.

I added some gems to the centre of the flowers.

When I came to adhere to the card base – I couldn’t make it work. The arrangement seemed lost against the white, despite trying a couple of embossing folders. I was going to ink smoosh onto a background panel, but tried this dark grey card stock from Lawn Fawn – and this worked much better.

I dry embossed that dark grey panel with a Spellbinders embossing folder, adhered the floral spray with 3D foam – some very, very tiny bits in parts – and added some sequins. I’m not quite sure what colour the sequins are, but they do give off the pink and grey vibe……

As for the sentiment – it’s a recently foiled strip created when taking part in the Spellbinders Glimmer class a few weeks ago – and on grey card too…..

What a great colour combination for this week – I hope I get you see you in their gallery. xx
