Easter Tulips!


Happy Kitchen Sink Monday!! KSS is the sponsor for this week's Color ThrowDown Challenge #83 which is being hosted by non other then our guest designer this month Tammy!! So what is the color combo??? Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Wild Wasabi and Marigold Morning!! Now, the color ThrowDown challenge #83 does not officially start until Wednesday, March 10th, so be sure to check out the Color ThrowDown blog after Wednesday to find out what the wonderful Kitchen Sink prise will be for this week!!
Today, I decided to use the 3 step tulip bouquet...I wanted to try and show off a spring boquet with this fun color combo, so I decided to ink each of the flowers with different stampin' up markers to create the different colors on the larger and smaller bouquets. The color combos for each of the tulips and the leaves are as follows:

Pink: Pretty in Pink; Regal Rose, Rose Red, Rose Red again, Ruby Red
Yellow: Barely Banana, So Saffron, Summer Sun, More mustard, More mustard again
Blue: Bashful Blue, Taken with Teal, Taken With Teal again, Tempting Turquoise, Tempting Turquoise again.
Greenery: Certainly Celery, Certainly Celery again, Wild Wasabi, Wild Wasabi again

I then cut the image out with a labels three Nestabilities, and layered it with a scalloped circle Nestabilities cut out with Bermuda Bay card stock. To finish off the card, I added the sentiment which is on one of the Fancy Tags from Spellbinders along with some bright pink gems.

Please head on over to see what the other crew members have created for you!!
