Another Color Throwdown Challenge is on board and our hostess - Amy Rysavy - has some beautiful colors for us: dark pink, burgundy, pale peach, purple! I typically don't gravitate toward purple, but this ended up being a really fun combination to work with! Here is my take on it (and note that I voted green as a neutral - lol!). I'm also playing along with the current Retrosketches Challenge #222 and really loved this layout! I had these frames in my leftover pile (Quadrangle Frames dies by Simon Says Stamp), so adhered them over some watercolor CS that I painted with purple (mixed with white) Gold Mission watercolors. I used WPlus9 inks for everything except the black sentiment. The stripes were stamped with Cockleshell ink on MFT's Diagonal Stripes BG stamp using a MISTI. Florals were triple stamped using Sweet Gelato and Miami Spice. The leaves were stamped with Mojito. I love the light gray ink (Fairy Dust) that was used on the sentiment collage stamp over the background.
Once again you see the mini scallop border die by Reverse Confetti. Some purple twine and some clear sequins were the final touches.
