Good morning everyone!!! It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge!! Kerri is the hostess this week and she has picked some beautiful, bright, springy colors...I just love all the pink!!!
My card features two Papertrey Ink sets: the flowers are from In Bloom and the leaves are form the Turning a New Leaf set. The sentiment is from Stampendious. The flowers were stamped with Pretty in Pink and Melon Mambo. The flowers were then masked before stamping the leaves with Certainly Celery and rock and rolled with Always Artichoke. The Melon Mambo flowers were stamped again, colored with an aqua pen and the Melon Mambo ink pad, cutout, and popped up with foam dots. I have a need for some sympathy cards so you will see several this week.
This is also for a few other challenges:
1. House of Gilli - flowers
2. My Craft Spot - make it pop
3. Ooh La La Creations Challenge - bold and bright
4. Paper Creations, Inc. - April showers bring May Flowers
5. Tammy's Scrapin Corner - anything goes with a splash of green
Remember, you don't have to use the exact colors to play along...use papers and colors you have that are similar to the challenge colors. Be sure to add CTD188 to the keywords when you upload your card to an online gallery so we can find your work!!

This is close to a clean and simple card, and it looks gorgeous with the pretty shades of pink flowers. I think this is one of the greatest color combos.
