Color Throwdown #249

Hello everyone...it's my turn to host this weeks Color Throwdown Challenge and I picked some patriotic colors since tomorrow is the 4th of July!!! I'm sure you are a little tired of red, white, and blue so I added a punch of Bermuda Bay to pump up the volume a little...LOL!!

Are you going to do anything exciting for the 4th?? We are going to chill in the air conditioning!! It has been up to 106 here this week so I think I'll stay inside...LOL!!! The last of the Grands left last weekend so my house has been quite!! I actually got a little blogging done and I also cleaned my house...you would be surprised what I found under the beds and stuffed into drawers...LOL!!! Anyway...

I want to say goodbye to Wanda Guess who was our June Guest designer...what a joy it was to stamp with you, Wanda...you are sooo talented and your cards were all sooo gorgeous!!!

I also want to welcome Stacey Schafer as our July Guestie....we are all really excited that you will be joining us!!!

Also....next week is the 5th anniversary for The Color Throwdown Challenge and we have something fabulous planned with lots of prizes to give out so be sure to mark your calenders so you can join in all the fun!!!!!

My card features Stamps and the Seasonal Wreath Die from Taylored Expressions: 4th of July Wreath for the wreath, stars, and sentiment, the Graphic Greetings Patriotic sentiment stamp for the sentiments adhered over the arrows, and the rick rack stamp from Garden Party Blooms. Papers from the Patriotic Project Pantry  were cut into arrows. The wreath was colored with Copics, cutout with the coordinating die, and hung on the arrow. The Graphic Greetings Patriotic stamp was stamped with Brilliant Blue and Bermuda Bay and then the different sentiments were cutout and adhered over the paper arrows. The stars, rick rack, and 4th of July sentiment were stamped to finish it off.

Remember, you don't have to use the exact colors....use what you have as long as they are close to the challenge colors and be sure to add CTD249 to the keywords section when you upload your card to an online gallery so we can find your creations!!
