Color Throwdown Challenge #293

Hello everyone...can you believe it's Wednesday again...Yikes!!! We have been so busy the last few weeks...my sister was here visiting and we have been going to all the end of school activities for the Grands. My Dad had another Mohs surgery on his face and we have been doing twice a day dressing changes...he had a skin graft after they removed the skin cancer and it's healing beautifully!! I think he is getting a little tired of seeing Nurse Ratchet 2-3 times a day...LOL!!! 

Anyway....it's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge and this week it's Barbara's  turn to pick the colors...she did a pretty good job, don't you think!!

My card features dies and a sentiment stamp from Taylored Expressions.  The flowers were all cut from patterned paper using dies from the TE Bugabee Flowers die set and the TE Bloom Where You're Planted die set. The Leafy Branch die was used for the leaves and the Flutter-Bys die was used for the butterfly....glitter was added to the wings for a little glam.  Soft Sky Reinker was watered down and splattered on the white background and the birthday sentiment from the TE Workplace Wishes stamp set was stamped on patterned paper cut into a banner with Memento Tuxedo Black and adhered with glue dots.  

The TE Open Scallop Border die was used to cut out the Soft Sky Border and the enamel dots, hemp cording, and sewing 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 CTD293 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.
