Dream Until Your Dreams Come True–CTD #198

CTD198_2012jun27


Welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! Today our colors were chosen by Kerri, and inspired by this colorful umbrella. I’m thinking it would be sweet to be lying under that umbrella right about now :)

So, it’s a gorgeous umbrella but these colors threw me for a loop! I finally dug out some Valentine’s pattern paper with the colors and got it done. Not sure I’m totally happy with it, but it is what it is ;-)

I’m using another image from one of today’s
MFT teasers, My Favorite Sentiments. It will be released on July 3rd and you can find out more about it at the MFT Blog.

I stamped the sentiment (is that not gorgeous, by the way?!) on a Die-namics Clearly Sentimental Label die cut and popped it up on a July release Die-namics Designer Label 3 STAX die cut, along with some bling. To bring out the warm colors, I used Die-namics Royal Rose, Die-namics Mini Royal Roses, and Die-namics Royal Leaves for a little bouquet. A little stitching finished it off! MFT card stock used on this card is: Whip Cream and Berrylicious.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the soon to be released set:

And that’s it! 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 CTD198 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.
