Color Throwdown

Vickie has chosen one of my favorite spring/summer color combos for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge...inspired by these fun shoes! Don't you just love them?! I had happy mail from Simon Says Stamp on Saturday, so it was a no brainer as to what I would use on my card.  

Dawn Woleslagle - owner of WPlus9 stamps - posted a recent video HERE - and as you can see, I shamelessly CASEed her cards in the video by adding a loose watercolor background with distress inks: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Twisted Citron and Evergreen Bough.  I used a Reverse Confetti banner die and white embossed a couple of Verve butterflies then fussy cut and adhered with clear Kool Tak Foam (it raises the image to give it dimension but it doesn't show through the vellum).  I stamped the sentiment twice using my MISTI.  I die cut two of the 'sending' sentiment to give it more dimension.  

STAMPS: Sending, Hoping, Wishing (WPlus9), Chicks Rule (Verve)-large butterfly and Eggstra Special (Verve)-small butterfly.
DIES: Outlined Roses (WPlus9), Sending, Hoping, Wishing (WPlus9), Beautiful Banners (Reverse Confetti).

Be sure to visit our guest star stamper - Jerrie Mead - at her Coloring Outside the Linez blog!  I was so inspired by her profile description! Congrats, Jerrie!
