Lily Pad Cards Color Throw-down

You do not want to miss this: the queen of color herself, Kathy Racoosin has thrown down this color challenge over at Lily Pad Cards:

Those colors shout summer and fun in the sun...can you hear them? It should have been the perfect opportunity make something with a beachy-sunny theme. But as is my usual process...I looked around at what was out already. So I grabbed some new Hero Arts sets and made a couple cards. I tested and played with ink colors until I had a combo that was close to the challenge colors.

For the citrus-y ice cream I used Memento dye ink in Tangelo, Dandelion and Pear Tart. I applied the color direct to the paper until I got the saturation I wanted. Then I stamped the image, from Life of the Party on each color. For the blue text background I used Hero Arts Shadow ink in Soft Pool and Distress Ink in Stormy Sky. I added Baby Blue Stickles to the cones and a scallop punched piece of paper from the Basic Grey Life of the Party 6x6 paper pad.

For this card I started with Hero Hues Designer paper in Sunshine, using it for the card base. I used the same ink from the previous card to stamp the images from Patterned Flowers and Luscious Frames randomly over the Canvas Stripe background. The scalloped border was punched from a scrap of white cs that I colored with Pear Tart Memento Dye ink using direct to paper. The sentiment is an SRM sticker.

Make sure you head over to Lily Pad Cards to get all the details and join in on this Color Throw-Down Challenge.
