'Tis the Season - CTD #116

I know I'm not the only one who thinks time is just going too fast! It's already Wednesday again, so it's Color Throwdown time! This week, the sweet LeAnne is our hostess and she has chosen some colors that I love. Get all the deets at the CTD blog--we'd love to have you play along!

Obviously, I chose to use these colors for a Christmas card, but you don't have to. I'd been wanting to ink up my new PTI Big and Bold Christmas Wishes set and this seemed like a good time to do it. You know I LOVE those sentiments as focal elements!

Not much to say about this card, really. I'm using October Afternoon's Good Cheer paper collection. I stamped the sentiment on Very Vanilla with Riding Hood Red and Memento Tuxedo Black inks, rounded two opposite corners, and matted it with Riding Hood Red. The twill is Certainly Celery from a couple of years ago. The holly leaves are from PTI's Holly Jolly set, stamped with Certainly Celery and cut out, and the berries are red flat back pearls. Me likey :)

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 CTD116 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.
