It's a Celebration - Color Throwdown #100

So, you might have heard we're having a little celebration over at the Color Throwdown blog, huh? That's right, we're celebrating 100 challenges--what a fun ride it's been and we've no intention of slowing down! We have tons of prizes to be won this week--so many awesome companies are giving them away to help us celebrate. You can get all the deets over on the Color Throwdown blog. Here are this week's colors, chosen by Kristen:
Pretty, no? Here's what I did with these colors. Tammy mentioned to me that the new Olivia paper from Basic Grey had all the colors so I didn't look any further, LOL! Gorgeous papers and PERFECT for this challenge. I love the softness of the patterns and colors.

I'm using another frame and sentiment from MFT's Framed Greetings, set to be released tonight! This time, I added the little bar under the sentiment--I think it finishes it off so well. *Really* love this new set and the matching Die-namics die. I'm also using the new Open Scallop Border die on this card. I don't think I've punched a border since I got my first Die-namics die--I can't put them down, LOL! Every one is just fabulous! This paper is so pretty, other than the gorgeous Framed Greetings sentiment and the Die-namics border, I thought all it needed was a black twill bow. Other MFT products I used are Black Licorice and Sweet Tooth card stock.

Here's the inside with yet another sentiment from Framed Greetings:
