Absolutely Fabulous–CTD #308

Hi, everyone, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! September 1st. I can’t believe it, really I can’t! But, Miss Joan has one of my all-time favorite color combos today so I’ll forget about how fast time is flying for a while ;-)

This is SUCH a favorite of mine that I already had some paper stamped up using these colors, so I was ahead of the game :) I started with a Sweet Tooth Card Stock base, then added a strip of my stamped paper down the left side. To make that paper, I stamped an image from Plaid Builder Background on Sweet Tooth Card Stock using Orange Fizz Ink, Lemon Drop Ink, and Razzle Berry Ink. Then I added another panel of Sweet Tooth Card stock and popped up the sentiment, from Simply Fabulous Sayings, stamped with Black Licorice Ink on more Sweet Tooth Card Stock. Next I cut LLD Accent It – Feathers and Arrows from Translucent Vellum and glitter paper and adhered them on top of a mess of silk thread.




I wasn’t trying to be skimpy with the thread, it just all jumped up under the feathers when I adhered them down, LOL! I’d wanted more to show, but it is what it is! To finish off I added some enamel dots in the challenge colors.




The rest of the sentiment is on the inside of the card.




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. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily.
