Happy Wednesday! I’m back with this week’s Color Throwdown card. This week Danielle is our host and here are her colors and her inspiration piece.
I went pretty simple with my card. First of all I embossed the green background with some large dots. Then I added a die cut panel using MFT’s Polka Dot Greetings Die-namics die using some salvaged corrugated cardboard. Using an image from Thanks a Bunch, I stamped it on a flag from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics set. Then I cut a “u” from By the Letters Die-namics and popped it up beside the “Thanks”. Then I tied some Maraschino Red baker’s twine around and added a patterned paper Rolled Scallop Flower Die-namics flower to finish it off.
Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:
And here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card:
