Color Throwdown #317

Color Throwdown #317 cropped by Tammy Hershberger

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!  It’s time for another Color Throwdown and this week Joan is taking us international with this inspiration photo…

swatch 317

For my card, I decided to CASE this gorgeous card by Jennifer McGuire.  I really loved the layout she used.  So here’s my version…

Color Throwdown #317 by Tammy Hershberger

I used my new Harvest Berries stamp set from Papertrey Ink, stamping the leaves with Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass premium dye ink.  I added some purple berries, and some randomly “splotches” of Blu Raspberry Premium Dye ink from MFT mixed with some Perfect Pearls for shimmer.  The “hello” was die cut twice from black card stock for extra dimension, using the Happy Hellos Die-Namics from MFT.  Over the whole card front I also stamped a script background using Grout Gray hybrid ink that was stamped off once, so it’s just very subtle.  And on the purple card stock base, I stamped the BG Diagonal Stripes background on the left edge using Sweet Tooth pigment ink.  Lastly, the whole card was given a very light spray of a sheer shimmer mist, and I added a few sequins.

Be sure to stop over at the CTD blog for all the challenge details, and visit my Throwdown sisters (including our new Guest Designer for November) for more inspiration…
