Color Throwdown #806

 

A quick post between loads - I was inspired by my friend Bonnie today - thanks, Bonnie!  A little mindless water coloring on a beautiful, embossed image from Lisa Horton was just what I needed on a Monday!  

Color Throwdown #806 held the colors my heart reached for via these inks:


Rusty browns, deep browns, deep yellows, and a sage-y green for the eucalyptus!


With a little splatter of dirty water, and another SB Betterpress sentiment
my panel was ready for a card base!


It's great to have friends [and challenges] to show you the way!

Hey wait!!  This is perfect for Darnell's I.D.E.A.S., too! E = embossing!

I'm such a chicken. Have NOT tried coloring an embossed image and you've made it look so easy peasy! I'll have to try this soon--on a mindless day! Have a great week!
