But, back to this week. Danielle chose this week's colors and I love 'em!
And here's what I did with them:
I'm using the Clean & Simple Fall To Sketch #96 for my layout. Base card is PTI Rustic Cream with a layer of Tempting Turquoise on which I scored a frame. The central element was made using a stamp from PTI's Background Basics: Tin Types with Tempting Turquoise ink on Rustic Cream card stock. Then I went back and added tiny brown flat back pearls to each flower center and matted it with Dark Chocolate card stock (it really is brown, although it looks black), then I popped it up on foam tape. The sentiment, from PTI's Everyday Classics, was stamped with Dark Chocolate ink and I added three larger pearls as accents.
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 CTD99 so we can see your beauty all in one place. Hope to see you there!
