Color Throwdown



It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge and you're going to love Vickie's fab colors inspired by this lovely photo!  With the sprig of mint on those glasses, I'm thinking there must be some fresh iced tea being served.  Here in the south, that seems to be the drink of choice!


I was doing the happy dance when I saw metallic silver as one of the colors, because that meant it was time to play with some new Wendy Vecchi embossing paste and a TCW Mini Texturized stencil.  I'm loving this WPlus9 Spring Blooms set of flowers with endless combination possibilities!  A tiny tag sentiment was tucked in after the layout was completed.

STAMPS: Spring Blooms (WPlus), Tiny Tags (PTI)
PAPER: Melon Mambo, White
INK: Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade, Smoky Slate
ACCESSORIES: Embossing folder by Lifestyle Crafts, Metallic Silver embossing paste by Wendy Vecchi, Spring Blooms coordinating dies by WPlus9, Wink of Stella clear shimmer brush pen.

What an awesome combination of the stamped, "neat" flowers and the fabulous metallic silver background splatters! Love this card! Hmmm....I was thinking those mint sprigs were topping off some Mint Juleps!!
