Color Throwdown Challenge #256


Hello Everyone!! Welcome to this weeks  Color Throwdown Challenge !!
I am the hostess this week and I have picked some beautiful, rich colors for you to play with!!! The picture reminded me of  the lilac bushes in the neighbors I grew up in...they were so pretty when they were in bloom and boy, did they  smell good!!! 


My card features five different stamp sets from Taylored Expressions: Garden Party Blooms, Happily Ever After, Delightful Day, Butterfly Parade, and CreativiTEA fro the sentiment. The background flower clusters were stamped with Pale Plum, then the leaves were stamped with Pear Pizzazz. The darker flowers and sentiment were all stamped with Rich Razzleberry and pearls were added to the flower centers. The butterfly was stamped with Rich Razzleberry on Pale Plum card stock, cutout with the Butterfly in the Sky dies and popped up with foam tape. The pearls on the butterfly and the twine 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 CTD256 to the keywords when you upload your card to an online gallery so we can find your creation!!
