Color Throwdown #223
Happy New Year! We’re back with the Color Throwdown this week and Joan is our hostess with this unique color combo…
I got some new goodies in the mail this week from My Favorite Things thanks to a little Christmas cash, and this new Contempo Cage Die & Stamp set was perfect for these colors and the photo. I used the MFT January Guest Designer sketch for the layout, and papers from My Mind’s Eye “Breeze” 6x6 paper pad.
Other items used on my card are the Fishtail Flags STAX and the Upsy Daisy Die-Namics. I “secured” the cage at the top with a big brown brad, and tied some buttons in the flower centers with some hemp cord. (And P.S. My original plan when I sat down to create was to use the bird, cage and flowers in my design however, the idea in my head just wasn’t translating. After a glance at my BFF Bar’s card, I think I got her idea stuck in my head and my card ends up looking like I CASE’d her. But then, her creations are perfection so if you’re going to copy someone, might as well copy the best!)
Be sure to stop over at the Color Throwdown blog for all the challenge details and to play along! And visit my Throwdown sisters for more inspiration…
