Color Throwdown #260

swatch 260
Hello stamping friends, it’s time for the Color Throwdown again, and this week I’m the hostess.  I found this Fall photo and loved the splash of color in the violet-hued mums so I thought this would be a great color combo for the week!  I hope you like it too, and will give it a try!
For my card…
CTD260
I used an old ala’ modes stamp set from My Favorite Things, along with some papers from Doodlebug (the orange with the leaves) and some old Bazzill Swiss Dot papers.  I added a jumbo ric-rac die cut border, some jute twine and a purple button to complete the design.  The layout comes from the Sweet Sunday Sketch #193 for this week.  I colored the image with my Copic markers, and boy howdy was that an adventure!  My Copics have been gathering dust BIG TIME and I almost felt like I forgot how to use ‘em!  LOL
Stop and see my Throwdown sisters for more inspiration…
