live it up

 hello crafty stampers!

I'm thrilled to be the guest star stamper for this week at the color throwdown. I was lucky to be chosen as featured stamper with this card, so I have done a card for challenge #687 with the colours lime green, aqua and gold.

I began by doing some ink smooshing onto white cards with twisted citron and salvaged patina distress oxide inks. Then I die cut from them using Hero Arts Hexagon Infinity die set. I also die cut from some gold card. I stamped using Carabelle Studio Citron stamp with twisted citron distress oxide ink onto some white card and clear heat embossed it for shine. This was then die cut into a hexagon. I applied a mask to the stamping and ink blended the lower portion using salvaged patina distress oxide ink and splattered water. Here's a closeup of the shiny citron.

The card base was ink splattered with twisted citron distress oxide ink on the upper portion, then the hexagons were adhered some with glue, some with foam squares. The sentiment from Stampendous Birthday Splash stamp set was stamped in memento tuxedo black.

Thanks ladies for the shout out! I had such fun making this card, the colours were inspired!

We can't wait to see what creations will be in the gallery this week. Thanks for stopping by!
