Happy Together–CTD #211

 

Hi, all! Happy Wednesday and Happy Color Throwdown day! Today’s colors were chosen by Wanda, using this inspiration piece. What a gorgeous image, right? Right!

But I gotta be honest and say this color combo freaked me out when I first saw it, LOL! Then I thought about it a while and decided to go with a flower. And you KNOW I gotta have leaves, right? I discovered the Summer Starfruit works really well as a green substitute. And I ended up LOVING this card!!

I also decided to go with a white base to keep it from being too busy with this palette of similar colors. I’m using a Kraft card stock base card with a Sweet Tooth card stock layer, then I added that perfect corner bling element that looks like it was MADE for this card :) Actually, I laid it out and stamped the sentiment , from MFT’s Essential Sentiments first, THEN added the bling. I then made a flower using MFT’s Die-namics Prima Donna Petals dies. The bottom layer is Pumpkin Pie card stock and the top layer is from The Sweetest Thing – Tangerine collection by MME, and as I mentioned already, the leaves were cut from Summer Starfruit. To finish it off, I made the center with Sahara Sand.

Here’s the inside with a sentiment from More Essential Sentiments.

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