Color Throwdown



Broni has some really cool summertime colors based on these fun watermelon popsicles for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge! Sadly, I was in need of a sympathy card, so went with a bouquet of flowers for my design using a couple of PTI stamp sets.


After die cutting a number of coordinating dies for the Larger Than Life set, I stamped in Garden Green, Lucky Limeade, Real Red and Cool Caribbean inks.  The flower center is Daffodil Delight.  I'm using Karen Giron's layout for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge - flipping it to the side.

Play along with us this week and you just might be in the spotlight next week by being our guest star stamper!  You don't have to have exact colors to play along, but you do need to have a close resemblance.  Be sure and link your creation to the linky tool at the bottom of the current challenge post on the Color Throwdown Challenge blog.

We have to say thank you and goodbye to our July guest designer - Diane Jaquay - who gave us some fabulous samples each week!  Stay tuned to meet our super talented August guestie next week!
