Freestyle Collage with CTD

There's another Color Throwdown challenge on board and Broni has a fun (and challenging for me!) color combo. I was inspired by a feature in Paper Crafts July/August 2013 edition and loved their section on freestyle collage.  To quote the magazine...it's a "layered and eclectic approach to design, seemingly unrelated patterns, embellishments, and textures...often in an asymmetrical way.  The combination may appear odd taken one element at a time, but put it all together, and collectively, somehow it sings."  Well...not sure that my card is singing a very pretty song, but it sure was fun to put together - lol!  I used multiple stamp sets and primarily stuck with an arrow/hexagon/sequin theme.

Here's what I used...
STAMPS: Happy Hexagons (Papertrey Ink), Gorgeous Grunge (SU), Borderline, Take Note and Stronger Love - all by Verve.
INK: Pacific Point, Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Tangerine Tango.
PAPER: Fabrications 6x6 pad by Teresa Collins, White (PTI)
ACCESSORIES: Hexagon Die-Namics by MFT, Sequins by Avery Elle.

Remember, you don't have to have the exact colors listed...just use something close.  Be sure to use the keyword CTD255 when you post to a public gallery and you also want to link it up on the Color Throwdown blog.
