Yeah, it's a lame title--but it's all I could come up with. It's time again for Color Throwdown. This week LeAnne chose the colors...
So, what do you think? Two blues--they threw me.
The CAS-fantastic Wednesday Challenge for this week is All Things Summer so I decided to go with flowers. That's summer, right? I started by stamping a card base of PTI Vintage White card stock with an image from Turning a New Leaf in Wild Wasabi. I don't have any of the new SU! colors yet, so LeAnne generously gifted me with a sheet of Marina Mist. It really is a gorgeous blue. I stamped a strip of it with Polka Dot Basics II in Not Quite Navy. Then I tied a piece of twill around and added a folded scallop flower and two rolled flowers using MFT's Rolled Flower Die-namics die. Finally, I added some punched out leaves and called it good!
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 CTD102 so we can see your beauty all in one place. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week!
