Just a Note–CTD #304

CTD304_2014aug6


Hey, everyone, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Tammy has chosen some awesome colors based on her inspiration piece that features children on a playground. We’re dedicating this challenge to our teammate, Lori Tecler who is starting a new job as a kindergarten teacher. To you, Lori, you will rock that classroom!

My card started with a Whip Cream card stock base, then I added a strip of Primitive White card stock across the bottom on which I stamped the pencils from LLD Document It – School Days with Steel Gray ink, and at the top, Blu Raspberry card stock stamped with Typewriter Text Background, again with Steel Gray ink. I added a strip of silver glitter paper where they joined and then a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics cut from Wild Cherry card stock and stamped with Grid Background.

Next I created my clipboard from
Kraft card stock with silver mirror paper for the clip part. On it a put a piece of Smoky Slate card stock cut with LLD Insert It – 3 x 4 Notepad Die-namics and a piece of Primitive White card stock stamped with Notebook Paper Background, stamped with Blu Raspberry ink and cut with Notebook Edge Die-namics. On that I stamped some images from LLD At the Office with Blu Raspberry ink, Wild Cherry ink, and Steel Gray ink, and added some stars cut with Sun, Moon, & Stars Die-namics from silver glitter paper and a darling paper clip cut from silver mirror paper with Office Supplies Die-namics.

On the inside, I added some
Primitive White card stock cut with LLD Insert It – 3 x 4 Notepad Die-namics and stamped with a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About New Beginnings in Wild Cherry ink along with the Blu Raspberry circle from LLD At the Office.
