SOS: Spring color palette

Join me for another challenge at Shopping Our Stash... a challenge where we encourage you to use the supplies in your stash that maybe need a little love...

This week, we are doing something we don't do often: issuing a color challenge based on an image:


Here is my card:
Ugh... this image is so washed out!  I'm sorry!  The colors were truly much more bold IRL.  This winter is killin' me, with regards to photography!

Supplies:
  • Strathmore watercolor paper 
  • Faber-Castell Pitt pens for lettering and doodled wreath... haven't been using them as much as the Microns I got for xmas, so this was a choice in using my stash!
  • Spectrum Noir grey (IG4) used for shadows
  • Everything was "watercolored" using Loew Cornell brushes and the following DIs selected to match the given palette: Scattered Straw, Shabby Shutters, Spun Sugar, and Victorian Velvet.
  • I rounded the corners because of a boo-boo... 
  • Liquid Pearls added for a touch of dimension
Join me!  Got stash?  Link up at Shopping Our Stash, and for mo' better inspiration, go visit my DT homegirls, plus Ina!

  1. Hello Mimi: Well, I hear you about this Winter, hate gray days.
    But your card is soft and beautiful, the little flowers and the wreath are perfect for Spring.
    Love the fix of the boo boo, I wonder what happened? perhaps inky fingers?
    Lovely and sweet card.
    Hugs,
    Maria.

  7. Your card doesn't look washed out, but winter sure does no good for photos, I see that on my own cards. Lucky mishap, the rounded corners work with this image and design!
