Color Throwdown

**Scroll on down for the TCP Sneak Peek Post**


Hey, hey, hey! It's hump day and it's a new Color Throwdown Challenge day! The lovely Joan is our hostess this week and she has some fabulous fun colors for us! Here's my take on them...


I went with a variety of stamps from My Favorite Things: Diagonal Stripes BG, Blissful Blooms and Label Maker Sentiments.  Coloring was primarily with Copics though some of the leaves were done with an Aquapainter brush and SU inks.

DIES: Stitched Oval by Lil' Inker Designs; Stitched Fishtail Flags STAX, Blissful Blooms, and Label Maker Sentiments Die-Namics by MFT.
INK: Smoky Slate (SU); Memento Tuxedo Black. 

Congrats to this week's guest star stamper: Gloria Lee of Gloria's Craft Room! Be sure to stop by her blog and say hello.

For more inspiration, check out the design teams' blog links below OR you can go to the Color Throwdown blog for details on how to play along and you can see all the sample entries in one location.
