Today's Color Throwdown challenge is just that.... a CHALLENGE! I've been ribbing Broni for a week, trying to figure out WHAT she was thinking when she chose these colors! Whoo boy, I dreaded this color combo! Just ask LeAnne.... she knows I do not do blue! I even teased that I was going to make a Melon Mambo/River Rock card, and use an image of a little girl with Pacific Point blue eyes! So basically you've caught on, right.... I didn't like this challenge!
But ya' know what, that's why we do challenges! To get outside the comfort zone and try new things and in the long run, I think it's pretty awesome! I hope you'll be brave and get outside your little stamping comfort box and give it a try!
I decided to use a Whipper Snapper image I've had for awhile that hadn't seen ink, so Tic, Tac & Toe here are the stars of my card! And see that awesome birthday Sentiment Flag? That's the new stamp set and matching die from my sweet friend Laura and her store, Lil' Inker Designs! You'll LOVE this cute little stamp set, and matching steel die! Get your hands on it soon! I love that I'll never have to pull out my square punch and try to evenly snip off the end of a sentiment flag ever again!
The layout for my card was inspired by Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch #86, but I ended up straying a little bit from the smaller details of the sketch.
