Color Throwdown

Hi everyone! It's yours truly's turn to host the Color Throwdown Challenge this week and I've got a bold and beautiful photo of one whopping high heel shoe that was my inspiration for the color combo! I can't imagine anyone wearing a shoe like this, but I do think it's beautiful!



I am also playing in Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge.  I knew I wanted the yellow to be the dominant color and I can't seem to stop using this 2 step stamp set from PTI.  Just LOVE these flowers!  I stamped off once for the flower (Daffodil Delight) and leaf base color (Old Olive) then stamped over it using the full ink color.  I popped them with foam dots over a Martha Stewart doily tag.  DP is from PinkPaislee's 365 Degrees 6x6 pad.  The black loopy border is a punch by Martha.  I scattered some adhesive pearls to finish it off.

I hope you'll play along with us...if you do, remember you don't have to use exact colors.  Just use something close.  If you upload to a public gallery, be sure and use the key words CTD238.  Also, link up your card on the Color Throwdown blog using the linky tool at the bottom of the post.
