Color Throwdown 566

Hi, there! Thanks for stopping by for my Color Throwdown post, once again featuring new (and old) products from Paper Smooches. This week's colors are cream, gray and orange.

I can't get enough of the new Laurels Dies and decided to tuck them inside the pocket die from the Tooth Fairy Die and a partial sentiment from Caffeinated.

Here's a peek at this week's inspiration piece hosted by the one and only Lisa Henke.

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!

Paper Smooches October Release

Being a long time fan of Kim Hughes’ sweet, one of a kind designs, I'm so excited to be guest designing for the Paper Smooches October Release! I'll be sharing more creations using the new release all month long, starting Wednesday in my Color Throwdown post, so I hope you'll check back.

The card above features my favorite Frame 3 along with new products coming your way tomorrow - Spreading Joy & Laurels Dies.

Aren't those laurels beyond beautiful?! I simply watercolored them in two shades of green Zig markers, arranged them in a messy-bun bouquet and tucked them inside and out of my die cut frame.

And now it's time to share a sampling of the NEW Paper Smooches OCTOBER 2019 release with you! THREE new stamp sets, FOUR new dies and TWO new stencils will be available to purchase at 10:00 AM Central time zone on October 7th.
