Color Throwdown #67

Happy Wednesday!!! I'm going to have several posts for you today. First up is the Color Throwdown Challenge! Later today I'll have another My Favorite Things teaser and tonight is MFT November blog hop. More on those later :)

My awesome friend, Tammy, chose this week's colors: Always Artichoke, Dusty Durango, Soft Sky, and Kraft--a great color combo if you ask me. Only trouble is I am dangerously low on Kraft, so I subbed Creamy Caramel. (Note to self: order Kraft.)
I'm using an Inkadinkado stamp that I haven't used in ages. But it always says "fall" to me, just as these colors do. I stamped it on Whisper White with Memento Rich Cocoa, colored the leaves in with a Copic marker, and highlighted the little birds with a rust colored Sakura glitter pen. You probably can't see it but they shimmer in real life. Then I cut/embossed it with a Classic Rectangle Nestabilities die and sponged it with Creamy Caramel ink while it was still in the die. I though this Earth Love paper from the Mini Deck by Cosmo Cricket was perfect for this stamp--and colors. Those little birdies are so cute! I'm using TECC sketch #89 for my layout, so I added a little ribbon, a big old Vintage Button from PTI, and called it done!

Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play. If you don't, just use the closest you have. And don't forget--there's a chance to be chosen as Featured Stamper, which makes you eligible to become a Guest Designer. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week.
