Hi everyone and welcome to...
Color Throwdown's 5th anniversary celebration!

For all the details and links...please visit the Color Throwdown blog.
Here's my interpretation of Lori's fun colors based on the summery flip flops photo. I used MFT's Peek-a-boo Dots Die-Namics and "lined" the card with Bermuda Bay CS. The peonies were stamped off once for the base color, then full Melon Mambo ink stamped on top. For the roses, I used Daffodil Delight ink for the base stamp and So Saffron for the second stamping. I did NOT want to frame the sentiment, but I goofed by pushing too hard when I stamped the sentiment, so had to cover up the mistake with the framed version...grrrrr!
STAMPS: Rosie Posie and Rosie Posie Step 2 by PTI
PAPER: Kraft (PTI), Bermuda Bay (SU), White (PTI), Black (PTI)
INK: Old Olive, Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Versafine Onyx Black
