You Make Me SMILE–CTD #296

CTD296_2014jun11

Hey, everyone, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Lori has a super sweet color palette for us to work with.

My card started with a Berrylicious card stock base. Then, on a piece of Sweet Tooth card stock, I stenciled on some embossing paste with MPD Scallops Stencil and stamped the sentiment, from the just released Smile Stamp Set, at the bottom with Black Licorice Hybrid ink. I popped that up on the base on foam, then created my Gerbera Daisy Die-namics using Regal Rose and Pink Lemonade card stock. The leaves were cut from Sour Apple card stock with the leaf die from Blueprints 14 Die-namics. I hot glued them onto the card and it was done.

The rest of the sentiment was stamped on the inside.
