Color Throwdown #49

It's another Color Throwdown day and Tammy is bringing us a blast from the past with the colors she chose! I totally love these retired In Colors: Groovy Guava and Soft Sky. And you can't go wrong adding Chocolate Chip, can you?

For my card I decided to use a new stamp--Vintage Apron, by Karen Lockhart. It begs to be paper pieced, so that's what I did. I'm using the also-retired Afternoon Tea DSP along with the challenge colors for card stock. And I did a little coloring with Copic markers. It's a homespun-ny (is that a word, LOL?) type of stamp so I carried that theme throughout with stitching, buttons, some Soft Sky double stitched ribbon, and distressing with Ranger Distress Ink in Antique Linen. I love how this turned out. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Mega Mixed Messages. All stamping was done on Gina K Pure Luxury 80 lb paper with Memento Rich Cocoa ink.
