Color Throwdown 188

Check out these fabulous colors that Kerri has brought to the Color Throwdown Challenge this week!  Pure gorgeousness and perfect for me to play with my favorite subject in stamping: FLOWERS!

I knew I wanted to use this gingham ribbon that had the 2 shades of pink...then I went with the sketch for SCS' CAS challenge this week and this card fell together quickly!  I used the kissing technique with the flowers by stamping first with Pretty in Pink ink, then rolling the edges around on the Melon Mambo ink pad. 

We'd love to have you join us! No worries if you don't have the exact colors... feel free to substitute colors that are close! Make a card or paper crafted project and post it to your blog or online gallery. Then use the direct link and link it to the Color Throwdown blog using the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of the CTD post. If you post to an online gallery, please use CTD188 as your keyword.

So...are you ready to be inspired?? Check out what the other CTD designers, along with our talented April guestie, Julia Aston, have created!  Check it out HERE.
