Fruity Throwdown

I found this week's color combination at The Color Throwdown to be so refreshing and unique, something new that I would never reach for! Such great inspiration for these cold wintery days...


Aqua, saffron, brown, and yellow were the recipe, and out came my Fruitastic set from Pinkfresh Studio again!


A little sweet, and a little sour, like the sentiment from Pinkfresh Studio's Sweet Lemonade set says. I did faux watercoloring by inking the images in Fossilized Amber, Squeezed Lemonade, Brushed Corduroy, and Tumbled Glass Distress inks, and spritzing them with water before stamping on watercolor paper.


Added splatters of watered down acrylic paints in aqua and black, with some coordinating Nuvo Drops here and there.


Some die cut fruits to match, placed over a vellum layer with the sentiment. I am also entering this into this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge entitled "Anything Goes." 

I love this set!
