Thank you - Color Throwdown #82

OK, peeps, it's time for another Color Throwdown! Today, LeAnne is our hostess and she's challenging us to use Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, and Very Vanilla--a gorgeous combination!
I'm not sure where I was going with this card but here's where I ended up, LOL!


I'm using the current Sweet Sunday Sketch--#58 for my layout. I think it's pretty straight-forward in design. I love these poofy flowers--could you tell? Well, my friend and CTD team mate, Tammy, made one last week and alternated patterned paper with text paper for the layers and I loved it! So, I'm CASEing her idea today--in triplicate, LOL! It gives the flower a softer look than one with all patterned paper, IMO.

I almost didn't do any stamping for this card, actually. I was "finished" before I realized that and while that would have been "OK" I just couldn't leave it that way ;-) So I stamped a sentiment from PTI's Mother set on a scrap of Vintage Cream card stock and attached it to the ribbon.

Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play. If you don't, just use the closest you have. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD82 so we can see your beauty all in one place. Hope to see you there! And be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week! And help us give a warm welcome to our March Guest Designer, Pam Speidel!
