Hello everyone....it's Wednesday again and that means it's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge!!!! Lori is our hostess this week and I just love the color combo she picked.....it's perfect for any theme any time of the year!! I chose to make a Christmas card because I have got to get busy building up my stash. Christmas will be here before we know it!!!
My card features the Tag Pocket die from Taylored Expressions. It was cut out of a piece of SEI patterned paper....the pink tag and the background red paper are from the same SEI collection called Christmas Mint.
The snowflakes were cut out of the SEI paper with TE's Make a Snowflake dies and the banner sentiment is from TE's Baby It's Cold Outside stamp set.
The tag sentiment from TE's Big Bold Christmas set was stamped with red ink and the scroll motif is from the TE Chalkboard Elements set. The ribbon, stamper, button, twine and sewing on the background edges 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 CTD266 to the keywords section when you upload your cards to an online gallery so we can find your creations!!
You can find out all the challenge details on the Color Throwdown Blog.
