Hey, Girlie!–CTD #244

CTD244_2013may29


Happy Wednesday! Since it’s Wednesday, it’s Color Throwdown day! Today, the oh-so-very-talented Lynn has a lovely color palette for us to work with:


swatch 244

For my background, I used the new MFT Mini Chicken Wire Stencil and sponged it with Blu Raspberry ink on Sweet Tooth card stock. Then I layered it on Steel Gray card stock and tied around some baker’s twine. I then added a Die-namics Mini Hybrid Heirloom Rose from Razzle Berry card stock and two Die-namics Upsy Daisy flowers from Lemon Drop card stock. I added some Die-namics Royal Leaves and the leaves that come with the daisy set cut from Steel Gray card stock. The sentiment is from More Essential Sentiments and was stamped on a Sweet Tooth card stock Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon flag.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set:

And that’s it from me! 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.
