Color Throwdown #754 and NBUS#53

Welcome.  Today I am joining the Color Throwdown Challenge #754
Below is the inspiration photo for the challenge:

 

 Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

 

This is a pretty CAS card (and for me that is something I find hard to do) but I really like how this one turned out.

Card Base: Mossy Meadow - Layered with Basic White (SU)

Crumb Cake Layer - Stamped with Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake inks. (SU) Plants are from Unity - April 2023 KOM

I also used White Pigment Ink (Stampabilities) and the Itty Bitty Backgrounds (SU) that I stamped randomly on the crumb cake piece.

Sentiment Stamped with Crumb Cake ink. (SU)

Designer Paper - Strip from Safari Chic Matstack (DCWV) 

Finished off with some soft chocolate colored pearls. 

Also going in for NBUS #53  Since the plants and sentiment are being used for the first time.

Color Throwdown #707 & NBUS #41

 

 Happy Monday!

Joining in today with a card I created for the Color Throwdown #707

 (Mustard, Navy Blue & Turquoise)

Since I also used some new stuff for this card I will be posting for the NBUS #41 as well.

Here is the card that I created:

 

 For this card I started with a card base of (Night of Navy-SU card stock).  Then I embossed a layer of More Mustard *retired SU cs with a new embossing folder from Spellbinders called, Radiant Burst.  This was the April 2022 Embossing Folder of the month.

Then I cut out circles (SU - Stylish Dies) from Basic White & Bermuda Bay cs.  I stamped the Owl with the coffee cup which is also new and is from Unity Stamps Itty Bitty Ray of Sunshine.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored the owl with Prisma Colored Pencils.  I distressed the edges of the owl and the sentiment with More Mustard ink.  I added a strip of designer paper that I found in my scrap pile so I don't know which company it is from.  The circles and sentiment were mounted with foam tape.

I hope this makes you smile.  That owl is just so silly looking, it makes me smile.

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by.
