Hi, everyone, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! This week the fabulous Joan is our host and here are the colors she’s chosen:

Beautiful color combo, isn’t it? It just so happens I had some patterned paper that would work for them. My design is pretty simple, to make use of the gorgeous patterned paper I used for my base. I’m using MFT’s Die-namics Vertical Greetings II Die & Stamp Set for my card today. I cut one die cut from patterned paper and another of card stock to adhere under it for more body. Then I stamped the sentiment, trimmed it to show some patterned paper and adhered that. The whole thing was popped up on foam tape, on top of a Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX die cut using corrugated cardboard. To finish it off, I made some little ribbon tabs and topped them off with a twine-tied button.

Here’s the inside with another Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX die cut and another sentiment from the set.
