Color Throwdown #574

Happy New Year! A new year of Color Throwdown Challenge is starting today with me as your hostess, so I hope you'll enjoy our inspiration and play along. Please visit the CTD blog for complete details. 

Here's a look at my card which uses a nice mix of die cuts and a sentiment stamped in brown ink from Simon Says Stamp's Wishing You stamp set. The trees are my favorite sticky stems from Your Next Stamp and the teeny hearts are from Julie Ebersole's Home & Hearth...and we can't forget my favorite Postage Stamp layer from SugarPea Designs.

My card uses images from Sweet Stamp Shop which has unfortunately closed its doors for the time being.  I've always enjoyed playing with their fun and witty designs and just love the combo of this jumbo sentiment and adorable cat + cake image.

Color Throwdown 565

 Welcome to another Color Throwdown Challenge with shades of gray, lavender and white for you to play with. 

I've chosen a 'bobalicious' image from Paper Smooches' new stamp set - Caffeinated. I also used the coordinating Caffeinated Icons Dies set to trim it out and then added a sentiment from Caffeinated Two, also from Paper Smooches.Those specs just make me giggle!

oh hello, paris

Welcome to this week's Color Throwdown Challenge. This week's colors lend themselves perfectly to a watercolored rainbow look and that's just what I've done with SugarPea Designs ParisScape die. I've paired the watercolored Paris skyline with my favorite SugarPea word die, Hello.

deconstructed simplicity

For this week's Color Throwdown Challenge in shades of aqua, purple, blue and yellow! I've used Reverse Confetti's Modern Floral Stack Confetti Cuts set along with a sentiment from PaperTrey Ink. I deconstructed both the die cut leaves and sentiment and then reassembled them on either side of a narrow strip of card stock to create a minimalist-modern-Orla-Kiely inspired card. Enjoy.
