Color challenge #18


Marjorie's going girlie this week! Pink Carnation, Baby Pink, Kiwi and Key Lime were our 4 colors.


I had gotten the new stamp set Cottage Floral last week and had yet to ink it up, so today was as good a time as any. The flowers are done in the two pinks, with a twist. I inked them up, then lightly misted with water. The leaves are done in the 2 greens with the same water misting technique. It really softened the colors. Then I came back with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens and added some green and red highlights. Some bling and a white brad for flower centers. The papers are all unknown out of my stash and the ribbon is a piece of leftover that I had custom painted using blush reinker and our Pearl Paint.
