Color Throwdown #144


Hey everyone, it's time for another Color Throwdown challenge! Cathy is our hostess this week, and she has chosen these lovely Spring/Summer colors for you to try! I pulled out my fabulous Occasional Labels stamp set, and the coordinating Sentimental Occasions stamp set from My Time Made Easy to create my card. The wonderful thing about these stamps (designed by our own CTD'er Kristin Eberline!) is that you can also download the Occasional Label cut file and use your Cricut to cut out the frame and oval for the stamps! I was lucky enough to get a used Cricut last month for a really reasonable price, and just LOVE being able to cut out the frames to use with these stamps! I'm hoping to have more time over the summer to explore what else I can do with this wonderful little machine!
My rolled roses were made with the Mini Rolled Rose die from My Favorite Things.

Stop and see what my Throwdown sisters have created for today, including our new Guestie for June, the beautiful Betty Wright!

    GIRL! Your card is so elegant, I LOVE how you kept it CAS and purty!! You make my stamps look amazing!! Love the cluster of rolled flowers...they're such a lovely accent to the sentiment panel.

    SO glad you are playing with your Cricut and getting good use out of it already. Sky's the limit, my friend :]
