Here is my take on the teal, lime green and white colors for the new Color Throwdown challenge.
I finally got to ink up this Dylusions sentiment set and paired it up with one of Tim Holtz' crazy birds. There is no painstaking fussy cutting needed with these matching Bird Crazy dies! I colored the bird with Copics and added Crystal Effects to the eyes. I love the mini diamond pattern stamp - inked with Twisted Citron distress ink - that is part of a Dylusions clear stamp set by Ranger. I then used some white texture paste with a border of mini dots from the Mini Halftone Borders stencil. My new fave floral dies are the Perky Posies by Lil' Inker Designs...so many possibilities to layer them up! Once I completed the tag, it looked rather lost on a white base, so I decided to use a couple of neutrals (kraft and touch of black) to make it pop better.

Lovely card. I like how you added a tag to your card. I didn't know there were die cuts for the Crazy Birds and I must find them. You did a lovely job with the color throwdown.
