Over at the Lindy's Gang blog, there is a new color palette challenge for July 2017:
I really liked the bright summery colors and, since most of my Lindy's stash is on the pastel side of things, I ordered the limited edition set of Sprays and Embossing Powders as soon as I saw the palette.
The set arrived Thursday, a day ahead of schedule and, after activating my sprays, I took them to my craft space and started in on a card.
I gessoed a pice of cardboard (the back of a notepad) and a chipboard scroll and let them sit for a while to dry. When dry, I added Texture Paste through a stencil to the cardboard piece, and waited again for it to dry. A few hours later, I was back, using three of the embossing powders and Versamark Ink to heat emboss the scroll, two of the sprays to color some white Prim flowers, and three of the sprays to tint the cardboard/background.
On the latter, I tried spraying and dripping, applying the inks with the spray tube, and applying the ink with a paint brush to get the look I wanted:

Starburst Spray "Alpine Ice Rose" and Flat Fabio Sprays "Bonjour Butter" and "South Shore Sand"
I tore two different Provo Craft patterned papers in "Buttercream" and stamped on them with Archival ink. These are attached to opposite corners after the background was layered on a piece of yellow card:
Next, I attached some Magic Mesh and the embossed scroll:
It was time to attach the background to a card and add a message plaque that I had smeared and rubbed with Distress Crayon:
The final touch was three Prima flowers tints with sprays and attached with Collage Medium:
Flowers were sprayed with Flat Fabio "Bonjour Butter", dried and then touched with "South Shore Sand" in their centers...
