Holiday Hugs - CTD #172




Welcome to the final Color Throwdown challenge of 2011! Yep, we're going to take a couple of weeks off so everyone can focus on the holidays with one less stressor :) But, we'll be back, rarin' to go on January 4th, so mark your calendars and check back with us then. 

Today's color palette is brought to us by Kerri and it's a pretty one, for sure!

I'm using this adorable MFT set called PI - Holiday Hugs Snowman. I just love the new snowman images!! And, I managed to wrangle another Christmas card out of this ;-)

I stamped my image on Perfect Paper Panel and colored it with Copic markers. Then I popped it up on a panel using the Simply Scallops Die-namics die as a border, and some ribbon, tied with some Caribbean Teal baker's twine and a button. The sentiment was stamped on a Notched Tag Die-namics tag and attached under the button. Easy peasy but so cute!

Here's the inside with another sentiment and the snowman again.




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 CTD172 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, including December's Guest Designer.
