Just Us Girls #471 - Color Week

Hey friends!  It's Color Week at Just Us Girls and Angie didn't choose specific colors this time, but rather pastels.  How fun!

 

I pulled out quite a few pastel inks and even stamped the floral image in a light gray ink in keeping with the pastel color palette.  This set from Concord & 9th is kind of cool because there are layering stamps that give the look of a loose watercolor.  I wasn't sure how I liked this at first, but as the colors dried and faded a bit, I warmed up to it.  The only thing I would have changed would have been the darker color in the center of the large flower.  I still think it's too dark.  The sentiment is also in a dark gray rather than black.  I added some shimmer spritz and crystals.  It's super sparkly in person.  Love that!  This is going to my niece for her birthday.
