Color Throwdown #136


Another Wednesday rolls around, and it's time for the Color Throwdown again! This week Laura is our hostess and, inspired by the new "Mabel" paper pad from My Mind's Eye, she chose these awesome colors! Stop over at the Color Throwdown blog for all the challenge details, and link up your own creation!

For my card, I decided to make it easy and pulled out my Mabel paper pad. AND as luck would have it, my new Pinwheel die and coordinating stamp set from Laura's Lil' Inker Designs arrived in my mailbox just in time to use on my card!
You MUST get your own Pinwheel die and stamps! You simply must! This was a quick and easy card to put together, and you'll love how fun it is to pick out papers and patterns to make your pinwheel! I love that you're not limited to just one piece of cardstock or color for your pinwheel, since it's made from 6 separate "petals." And the sentiments in the stamp set are just the sweetest!

Stop and see what my Throwdown sisters have created with the colors for this week, including our fabulous new Guestie...


And KISA played again this week too, so be sure to check her out as well! (Kisa is our graphics person and does the fabulous banners and color swatches for us each week, but every now and then she gets inky and joins in, too!)

Happy stamping, and thanksabunch for stopping by!

Oh Tammy! Where do I begin? First, it was a great surprise to wake up this morning and see that you used your new Pinwheel die and stamp set for your CTD card! I couldn't be more delighted! I love that you used different papers and mentioned this was possible because of the separate *petals*! I'm glad you thought it was fun and easy to make too! It's perfect paired with the cloud and grass dies!! Thanks so much! ~Laura
