Color Throwdown


There might be snow outdoors, but this week's Color Throwdown Challenge is screaming SPRING with these great colors that Joan has chosen!


I wanted to play with some new Verve stamps and dies.  The flowers and banners were stamped then die cut and arranged to fit Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  The burlap circle shape was layered over a kraft circle then layered over a Calypso Coral scallop circle.  Various sizes of rhinestones were scattered across the stars and flowers to reflect the "keep shining" sentiment. 

Remember, you don't have to use exact colors to play along...just something close.  Be sure and label your project with CTD232 if you upload to a public gallery.  You'll need to link up on the Color Throwdown blog as well. Can't wait to see what you create with these gorgeous colors!  While you're there, be sure and check out the rest of the design team's creations.  We're also very excited to welcome a new guest designer for the month of March: KIM HOWARD!  Welcome, Kim!

Here's what I used on my card...
