Color Throwdown #303

Hello friends, and welcome to another Color Throwdown challenge!  This week we're up to challenge #303 and Broni is our hostess with this sweet Summertime inspiration photo.  Want to join us?  Stop by the CTD blog for all the challenge details.

Here's my card for today...

I loved the sketch #186 from My Favorite Things last week so much that I used it again today for my card.  I changed it up slightly making the card square instead, and really like how it came together.  The LJD Pretty Poppies stamp set was the perfect choice with these colors.  I cut out the poppies using the LJD Poppies and Leaves then stamped the poppies in Tangy Orange hybrid ink (yes... ORANGE!  I actually have one tiny piece of that old Poppy Parade card stock, and it's a very close match to the Tangy Orange.)  The flower stems were stamped with Jellybean Green hybrid ink on the Sour Apple card stock circle.  I also stamped the BG Linen background on the circle in Sour Apple hybrid ink, and added a sentiment from the stamp set in Steel Grey hybrid ink.  I matted the circle on a piece of Tangy Orange card stock, and then on a piece of Jellybean Green card stock.  On the Berrylicious card stock background I used the Small Brick Wall stencil and some white embossing paste, then sponged some Berrylicious hybrid ink, and Ranger Antique Linen distress ink around the edges to tone it down just a tiny bit.  I finished the design with a couple of flags cut from the Fishtail Flags STAX Die-Namics, and Blueprints 13, plus a few enamel dots for good measure.
