Sweet Treat - Color Throwdown #118

Are you ready for another Color Throwdown? Broni is hosting this week and she's chosen some sweet colors:


YUM! Cherry Cobbler. I love it and I love this color! I'm also a fan of Soft Suede and of course, Kraft, so these colors were just fine with me :)



I decided it was high time I use this PTI Favor It 2 die and the Tiny Treats: Christmas set to see what kind of little treat giftie I could whip up. The box was cut from Cherry Cobbler, of course, and I stamped the Mat Stack image on Kraft with Soft Suede ink and cut it out. Using Memento Rich Cocoa I stamped the little bird image and colored it with Copic markers then stamped the sentiment with Cherry Cobbler ink. I couldn't leave it alone there--had to add some buttons ;-) I found a couple in my Scarlet Jewel jar that matches Cherry Cobbler to a "T". I used Pure Poppy baker's twine and colored the white with a Copic marker to cover up the stark white. And, I also just had to add a little green ;-) Easy peasy, that's for sure. I put a little acetate bag of candy in and tied it shut with some Kraft ribbon from SU!.

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.
