Color Throwdown

 

 It's time for another Color Throwdown challenge! Aren't these colors just the yummiest?!  Broni is the hostess this week and found this delightful basket of apples to inspire us with color!

I'm in love with the use of banners on cards and found this "Watercolor Bouquet" DP in a die cut mat pad by K&Co that worked for these colors!  I stamped the leaves in Crumb Cake ink on kraft CS.  The roses are all dies by MFT using Melon Mambo and So Saffron CS.  The leaves were stamped with Lucky Limeade ink on white and cut with Verve's Elegand Leaves die.  A little bit of zigzag stitching and some rhinestones were the finishing touches.

Remember, you don't have to use exact colors...just something close.  Be sure and label your project with CTD231 if you upload to a public gallery.  You'll need to link up on the Color Throwdown blog as well. Can't wait to see what you create with these gorgeous colors!  While you're there, be sure and check out the rest of the design team's creations.  It's the last week that we have the talented Kim Hahn as our guest designer...she's done a fabulous job for us this month!
