Hope Your Birthday Is Simply Wonderful - CTD #161

Hi, everyone, back again with this week's Color Throwdown Challenge! This week's color palette was chosen by Kristin and what a pretty palette it is!

And here's my card.


I'm using a sentiment from MFT's Polka Dot Greetings Die-namics and Stamp Set stamped on a flag cut with my First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics set and my flowers were made with the Pretty Posies Die-namics set. The leaves were made with the Upsy Daisy Die-namics die. I colored a Zva pearl flourish with a Copic marker and I added some twine-tied buttons to the flower centers.

Here's the inside, with a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Birthdays.





OK, that’s it for me today. 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 CTD161 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!
