Hello friends! We've got another
Color Throwdown challenge for you this week, and I'M your hostess! I hope you'll love these colors as much as I do! Last year, just about this time, an issue of Family Fun magazine showed up in our office waiting room, and on the cover was a cute little girl wearing an apron made from this fabric. I just LOVED the retro combination of colors, so I just knew we'd have to have it for a challenge this Christmas!
For my card, I pulled out a stamp set I bought last year from
Wplus9 Design Studio, the
Strictly Sentiments 3. I bought it because of
this card... just loved how that card looked. But with my Dad's passing just before Christmas last year I just didn't get time to make many Christmas cards, and this stamp set has gone uninked... until NOW! I just knew I had to CASE that fabulous card for today.
I stamped the largest circles in red ink, stamping off a few times with each inking. Then used an aqua blue, pink and dark green ink for the rest of the circles with the sentiment stamped in Versafine Onyx Black. I applied strips of Scor-tape at the top and bottom of the stamped panel and applied some chunky glitter, mounted the panel to a dark teal green card stock and gave the whole thing a spritz of shimmer spray before mounting to a white card stock base.
I hope you'll join us this week! Stop by the
CTD blog for all the challenge details, and visit my Throwdown sisters for more inspiration...
