Hello, Friend–CTD #178

CTD178_2012feb8

Are you ready for another Color Throwdown Challenge? This week’s hostess is Keva with a color combo that really challenged me. I mean, there’s no GREEN? This is two weeks in a row with no GREEN? Are you serious? ;-)

But, I decided to gave it my best shot and thought CAS might be the best way to go. So CAS it is. First, I stamped the flourishes from MFT’s new Finishing Flourishes stamp set on the card front, then made my flowers. Obviously, I can’t get enough of MFT’s new Botanical Beauty Die-namics ;-) I played around with the arrangement for a while and decided where to put my sentiment, also from Finishing Flourishes. I stamped it on a Layered Labels Die-namics die cut and popped it up on some foam dots for interest, then I adhered my flowers and was pretty much done with the outside.

Here’s the inside with more images from Finishing Flourishes. I stamped the flourishes off once before stamping and over-stamped with the sentiment.

And here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card:
