Thinking of You–CTD #311

CTD311_2014sep24


Are you ready for a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! I’m hosting this week and this is the photo that that inspired my colors.

I started with a Kraft Card Stock base, stamped with Burlap Background and Natural Ink. The sentiment is from LJD Out On a Limb and was stamped with Chocolate Brown ink, then I added Falling leaves Die-namics, cut from Steel Blue Card Stock, Sour Apple Card Stock, and Sno Cone Card Stock in a cascade arrangement. I sponged them with Kraft Ink before adhering them and finished off with some enamel dots.

Another sentiment from LJD Out On a Limb was stamped on the inside with Chocolate Brown Ink.
