Color Throwdown 178

Hello everyone! It's Wednesday already, so that means it's Color Throwdown Challenge time and just look at the great colors that Keva has given us!

 I found some papers in BasicGrey's Curio pad that worked perfectly for this combo, so added them to a Cajun Craze base!  Not sure if poppies actually grow in these colors...if not, they really should! LOL!  Since the sentiment spoke of a "grateful heart", I thought this heart-bordered circle Nestie would be a great fit.  Images and sentiment were stamped with Early Espresso ink.  Copics were used to color: Y15, Y17, E08, YG93, YG95.


The layout is for February's Sketch for You to Try Challenge by Jen del Muro.  I loosely interpreted the 3 circle elements on the vertical strip as the trio of poppies.

If you don't have the exact colors,  please feel free to substitute colors that are close! Make a card or paper crafted project and post it to your blog. Then use the direct link from your blog and link it to the Color Throwdown blog using the linky tool. If you post to an online gallery please add CTD178 to the keywords.  For more inspiration, you'll want to check out the other design team members' creations: Barbara Anders, Broni Holcombe, Danielle Kennedy, Joan Ervin, Keva Brown, Kerri Michaud, Kristin Eberline, Lori Tecler, Lynn Put, Tammy Hershberger, and our fabulous guest designer - Jenny Peterson!

You are playing with your blog layout again :) Like it. Fabulous fall colours and you have used them wonderfully on your card. I just got those nesties with some b-day money and can't wait to use them!
