Thank You - MFTWSC #19 and Color Throwdown #141

It's happened again! Wednesday has rolled around so that means it's Color Throwdown AND MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge day! Today's CTD colors were chosen by Danielle and are simply gorgeous!
And here's the sketch--another fun one from MFT! You can find the sketch on the MFT blog and also in the MFT forum on SCS, as well as in the weekly newsletter. The Design Team will be on hand to provide plenty of inspiration to get you started.


You knew I'd change it up somehow, didn't you? ;-) I flipped the card base shape but kept the overall layout. I'm using the Fishtail Banner Die-namics dies and Typewriter Alphabet for my banner, then simply stamped YOU at the bottom. Instead of the slanted rectangle element, I adhered some butterflies made with the Butterflies Die-namics dies.


Here's the inside, with a sentiment from Framed Greetings, and a Double Scallop Die-namics border.


Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD141 so we can see your beauty all in one place. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week!
