Happiness Always–CTD #193

CTD193_2012may23


Welcome to this week’s
Color Throwdown Challenge! This week the amazing Wanda is our host and she has picked a fabulous color combo, based on her inspiration piece.

I don’t have any Marvelous Magenta card stock, so I went with some patterned paper that had all the other colors plus a bright pink. I think that works. My layout is very simple, using
MFTWSC #69, and pretty self-explanatory, I’m thinkin’.

My tree was made with my Die-namics Teardrop Tree die, popped up on some foam dots. I added the sentiment, from  MFT’s Happy Thoughts on a Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon double-ended flag, topped with a Pink Sorbet baker’s twine tied button. Lots of stitching finished it off.

Here’s the inside, with another sentiment from the set:

Die-namics dies I used on this card:
