Color Throwdown Challenge #116

Today's post has to be quick!  I have a ton to finish this week and I'm running out of time due to a bunch of teenager activities that automatically commit mom :]  I know some of you can definitely relate!

You don't want to miss the colors LeAnne chose for you this week at the Color Throwdown!  Such a pretty combination...very easy to work with.  Check it out:

I chose to use my new Verve set, Believe.  I bought this set to support breast cancer awareness and in honor of my mother, Lori Pulda who is also a breast cancer survivor!  I printed my MTME patterned paper (Seawater and Neopolitan), adhered it to some SU! Very Vanilla cs, and hand-stitched the borders of each panel.  I added some pretty green and cream ribbon I bought recently, and layered my bloom on top. 

I created the 3-D flower by stamping the different sizes in white craft ink on Riding Hood Red, cutting out four different layers, and adhering them with dimensionals.  I added a pearl to give it a pretty finishing touch.

 

I used the MTME Killer Curves cut file I designed for my sentiment panel (it also works BEAUTIFULLY with Jen Del Muro's SFYTT this past weekend). 

So, being a cut file, you might think...awwh, I can't sponge the inside of the border because there's no die to leave the paper in.  Well...think again!  I cut an extra circle the same size as the one on my main panel and also layered (centered - vertically and horizontally) another circle approximately 1/4 inch smaller than the large circle in SCAL and cut them out using my Cricut.  I held the "frame" in place on top of my sentiment panel while I sponged Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink inside the round border.  Cool, ehh? 

Okay, that's all I have for you today.  Thanks for stopping by...don't forget to swing by the very talented DT's blogs!  You won't want to miss their works of art :]
