Color Throwdown

Yesterday I did a virtual zoom with some crafty friends.  It had been months since I had seen them and it was fun to connect and craft together, even if virtual.   We decided to play with the Color Throwdown Challenge.

Here is the card I made for the challenge:

I am a slow crafter, but this didn't take me too long to make considering that I actually had a moderate plan in mind before I made it. And here's how:

• I stamped the Dir-Tea Bunny Stamp on Copic Friendly Paper and used my Copics to color it. Then I used the Dir-Tea Bunny Die Set.  I love that it cuts out the hands so they can hold things. 
• Next, I stamped the wagon from Forest Friends and colored that as well.  I used the Forest Friends Dies cut for the wagon, the wheels and the handle.  I added some highlights with my white gel pen. 
• I was thinking this was like a mother's day card, which is why I put little bunnies from the Dust Bunnies Stamp and coordinating Die Set into the wagon.  To go along with that theme I did the coffee cup with the no sweeping symbol on it. 
• I set all my characters aside and worked on the background.  First I cut a bit of white cardstock to 4 X 5.25 and used the Catching Some Rays Stencil with my Blending Buddy and distress oxides to create the sun. 
• Then I die cut some grass with the Slimline Scenic Borders set.  I used distress inks to color it and spritzed it with water. 
• Next I went about placing my scene together and layering all the items and placing them on navy cardstock.  
• Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Springtime Sentiments on some kraft cardstock and cut it using the Sending Hugs Die banner.

I think a mom would like this card.  Enjoying time with her little dust bunnies in the sunshine as opposed to doing chores.  What do you think?

I enjoyed making this card and working with the colors.  My grass color is a little off, but hopefully they won't mind.

Hope you like it too!  Oh, and this is one more entry for the Trinity Crafty Troop Challenge.
