Keep Cozy–CTD #319

CTD319_2014nov19

Hi, everyone, it’s time for another Color Throwdown Challenge. Wanda has chosen a very preppy color combo based on this darling inspiration photo.


swatch 319

My card started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, 5” square. I am not a fan of square cards but I think this quilt looks best on one so I sucked it up ;-) Next I created my Quilt Square Cover-Up Die-namics element from Sweet Tooth card stock and tied around some silver cord. I then created some of my “signature” striped paper using Plaid Builder Background and Nightshift Blue dye ink, Cotton Candy dye ink, and Sour Apple dye ink, adding a strip of it to my card base. I also added a strip of silver glitter paper before popping the quilt up on foam. I stamped the sentiment, from Cozy Greetings with Nightshift Blue dye ink on a Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and secured it with hot glue under my Royal Rose Die-namics that was cut from Cotton Candy card stock. I finished off with some Royal Leaves Die-namics cut from Sour Apple card stock.

Another sentiment from Cozy Greetings was stamped on the inside with Nightshift Blue dye ink.
