Hey everyone...are you ready for some happy colors in spite of the cold snap that's trying to convince us it's not spring? Lori has a great color combo for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge - light aqua/mint, orange, red, yellow - inspired by this darling outdoor wreath! Here's my take on it...
I sat down Sunday afternoon to create for this challenge and had a major creative roadblock! I think this was the 6th attempt at different designs that just didn't work out to suit my anal brain. Let's hope it's not a brain malfunction that will hit me very often. :-/ I kept it clean and simple - also not typical for me - and went with this sweet wreath from Concord and 9th's "Love you, Mean It" stamp set. SU inks used: Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Pistachio Pudding, Chocolate Chip. I layered up die cut flags - Tangerine Tango, Pistachio Pudding and White Stitched Fishtail Flags STAX Die-Namics by MFT. Some twine and enamel dots finished it up.
