Hello everyone!!! It's Wednesday again and time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! It's the fabulous Kerri's turn to host the challenge and what classy colors she gave us this week!!!!!! The zebra stripe really caught my eye in the inspiration photo....Saturday is my DGD Mackenzie's 13th birthday and she looooves zebra stripes!!! So this weeks colors are just perfect for her birthday card!!! Remember, you don't have to use the exact colors...use what you have that comes close...we want everyone to have a chance to play!!!
I also want to thank Dawn Easton for being our Guest Designer this month....how wonderful to stamp with my sweet friend all month!!!!! Thanks, girlie!!!
My card features the Zebra Striped background stamp from Rubbernecker...it was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black onto white card stock and Rubbernecker's Jeanne image was paper pieced with papers from Basic Grey's Konnichiwa and Simple Stories Summer Fresh. The background navy paper is from Basic Grey's Lime Rickery and stickers are used for the dahling and Max's name. The Happy Birthday sentiment is also from Rubbernecker and I used the Sweet Sunday Sketch #170. Sewing, flower, button, and twine finish it off.
This is also for Lexi's Creations challenge to make a "special birthday" card and Stamps & fun = Creativity challenge to use stitching.
Be sure
to add CTD216 to the
keywords when you upload your card to an online gallery so we can find your
