Color Throwdown #550

I couldn't resist creating a card with this week's color combinations that simply screams summer!  Just click on the color swatch to go to their blog post.

After I nailed down the "watermelon" colors with my Prang watercolor palette, I used Mowed Grass Distress ink to blend the stencil design (Tim Holtz - Stampers Anonymous).  A diecut black glitter paper frame (Stampendous Fitted Frames) helped add pop.  The embossed (Cricut Cuttlebug) interior of the frame added a bit of texture.  Images and sentiment (A Muse Studio - We All Scream) were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.  Several layers of paint helped intensify the popsicles.  Prisma glitter (Lawn Fawn) was added with Quickie Glue Pen.  Diecut circle (A Muse Studio) was painted in a wash with the same color as the popsicles.  Scallop border (A Muse Studio), verticle pattern paper (Echo Park) and ribbon (Ellen Huston) were fun added embellishments.

Thanks for stopping by!
