CTD #119 and MFT Wednesday Stamp Club

Happy Wednesday! I have a multi-purpose card to show you today, LOL! First, it's my Color Throwdown card. I'm the host this week and I chose these colors:

I was thinking "Fall" when I chose them, but I wanted to do this week's MFT Wednesday Stamp Club challenge over on the Member Company Forum on SCS, so I sorta changed course a little. I decided to go with this Devonshire paper from Kaisercraft that has all the colors in it and I worked it into the challenge, which is to be inspired by something from the lyrics of My Favorite Things from The Sound Of Music (ACK! run-on sentence, LOL!). So, I'm thinking "Raindrops (the blue and the dots on the green paper) on roses (obvious)" and "Brown paper packages (Fossil card stock), tied up with string (also obvious)." And the sentiment, of course--not *too* obvious, is it? ;-) What do you think--is it workin' for ya? We hope you'll come along and play and show us some of YOUR "favorite things".

I'm using the Framed Greetings Die-namics Die and Stamp Set for this card, stamped on Fossil with Early Espresso ink. Simple layout, with simple embellishments: some twill, a button, and twine. 

And finally, this card will also fit the Dirty Dozen Central Theme for this month over on SCS--Well Read. There are tons of books on roses of course, but one of my favorites is Classic Roses by Peter Beales, an English hybridizer.

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 CTD119 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. You'll notice a familiar name on the DT line up--YES, Cathy Indelicato is back! Cathy took a little blogging break and is this is her first week back with the Throwdown! We're SO glad to have you back with us, Cathy!
