Color Throwdown #71

This is for the Color Throwdown Challenge. Love the colors they chose. Red, Pink,Brown,Olive. I had the perfect paper Iv'e been saving for a long time....well almost, no red. Its a basic grey which I combined with some scraps I had. I made a shadowbox card. Punched the edges with the daisy punch and it doesn't show but I put a pink center in each daisy. I framed the opening with a striped paper and also edged the additional top with it also. My camera doesnt capture the richness of color but this paper is just beautiful. The paper inside the shadowbox is a green with tiny pink roses on it. I lalso notice tha it looks like the oval is cut off on the right bottm side. It is the way the stripe is blending into the print. I colored the tilda with watercolors and then mounted it on a piece of brown that I ran thru the dotted swiss folder. I then punched out several layers of a little pink check and solid pink and layered them. to form the flower. For my red I added a red center to the flower with a pearl and the stripes on tildas apron. :)
