Lori is our hostess today for Color Throwdown #332, and she’s thinking Spring with these cute boots to inspire our colors. After all the snow we’ve had again this Winter, I dream of the need to wear a pair of boots like these on a muddy Spring day! :)
I had fun with these colors, pulling out my Whale of a Time stamp set from The Cat’s Pajamas…
I used the current Sweet Sunday Sketch #258 for layout inspiration, and paper-pieced my whale with some aqua blue designer paper. I added some waves from the stamp set on the navy blue panel behind the whale, and embossed the red card stock with a waves stencil.
Be sure to stop by the CTD blog for all the challenge details, and visit my Throwdown sisters for more inspiration. And we have a day of “firsts” today for our challenge… our new Guest Designer for March is none other than Joan’s daughter, Holly Brown. AND for the first time ever, we have a man as our Guest Star Stamper, Kevin McDonald! We welcome them both very happily! Barbara Anders

So cute, you nailed these colors and the layout and layers are perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely adorable card Tammy! Love the whale and the nautical colors are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable, Tammy! Love the fishtails, too.
ReplyDeleteAND - thank you for your sweet comment on the blog today, you made my day!
This is such a happy card, Tammy....you have worked the colors perfectly and how cute is that little whale!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet card! It reminds me a bit of a nurse's cap and you could paper piece it and change the star to a red cross - lol! Hmmm...you could send it for nurse's appreciation week and thank them for a whale of a good job. :-) Not sure where that random thought came from. Guess cause I just got off work.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card Tammy. That polka-dot whale is just the sweetest. Love the layers, and the different prints! You are on the roll girl! Keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteEeeeeeee!!!!! Now how cute is that???? Love your layout and that adorable whale. Those flags sticking out from the embossed navy layer are really eyecatching - such a great way of layering your colors!
ReplyDeleteHey Tammy,
ReplyDeleteI'm not online much so I haven't been keeping up on the stamping community BUT I was thrilled when I saw an e-mail today that said you were the hostess with the mostest for TCP. Congrats! on being a Cat Packer. I'm so very happy for you and for TCP you guys are a purrfect match. Purrhaps I'll get back to stamping and check out what's happening.
Hugs,
Chris
