Happy Birthday - CTD #174




Hi, everyone, it's time for this week's Color Throwdown challenge. This week's colors are brought to us by the fabulous Broni and I must say I love them! Here they are with the image that inspired them for her.


You can never have too many birthday cards on hand, right? Right, so that's what I did. I'm using a sentiment from MFT's Vintage Cameo Die-namics and Stamp Set and the Sweet Stack Labels Die-namics set for my focal image. I used a simple layout and embellished with ribbon, lace, and some gorgeous bling, along with a sweet little rose made with a Mini Rolled Roses Die-namics die and some leaves using Upsy Daisy Die-namics.

Here's the inside with a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental About Birthdays.


Here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card:




Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. 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 CTD174 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.
