So Sorry for Your Loss–CTD #298

CTD298_2014jun25


Howdy, Color Throwdown fans! Are you ready for this week’s challenge? Monika has a soft and sweet palette for us this week, based on her gorgeous inspiration piece.


swatch 298

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then stamped vellum with On the Diagonal Background and heat embossed with white white embossing powder. I could easily pop this up  since the embossing hit the foam bits. Next I added a Dizzy Doily Duo Die-namics die cut, also cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and some leaves, cut from Kraft card stock with a die from Blueprints 14 Die-namics. Then I created a Prima Donna Petals Die-namics flower with Wisteria Wonder card stock, Pink Lemonade card stock, and Kraft card stock. I adhere it to the doily and leaves on top of some coiled up silk thread. The sentiment was stamped on a Pierced Traditional Tags STAX Die-namics, also popped up on foam.

Another sentiment was stamped on the inside of the card.
