Hi friends! I'm here to share my card for the Color Throwdown Challenge (CTD162) that Tammy is hosting this week! BUT, before I get into my post I have to apologize to everyone who played along last week. I was the hostess and I set aside Monday night to comment on everyone's cards and type the Featured Stamper post, but unfortunately I've had MAJOR CONSTANT issues with my wi-fi router. Sometimes it works like a charm for a good length of time, and others, well it just doesn't allow me to do anything for a good length of time. The latter was the case last night. It took me over two hours to comment on one blog post. Eventually I had to give up because 5 am comes way too early. Fortunately, my sweet friend, Broni, stepped in and saved the day! THANK YOU BRONI!!! I owe you girlfriend. Okay...onto Tammy's awesome palette! Check it out:
I chose to work with my MTME Romance paper since the palette was so similar to the challenge colors! I hand-stitched my three base strips together (1.5" x 4" each) and added a strip of some pretty, brown lace trim I picked up at Hobby Lobby a while ago. I used my Sentimental Occasions stamp set, my Occasional Labels and Flutters and Flowers cut files for my focal points. I punched "happy" with a SU punch, and secured it with a button. I layered about four pieces of the daisy cut file after inking the petal edges with a Copic and curling them with my fingers. I secured them with a button also. My card shape is also a cut file from MTME, Cornice Trimmed Square.
My layout was inspired by Chupa's Saturday Sketchbook challenge.
That's all I have to share today, other than the links to our fabulous DT! Swing by and take a look at their fab creations :] You'll definitely receive a HEALTHY dose today...we've expanded our talent - take a look ♥
