Color Throwdown Challenge #298

Hello everyone....Hope you are having a good summer so far!! We have been getting a lot of rain which is a real shocker for central Texas this time of year!!! Everything is so green and lush...I could get used to this!!! We did have a little glitch in our happy day yesterday...the kitchen sink faucet died. My hubs had to take it out and couldn't find another one in town so we had to order it...should be here 
July 1...yikes!!!! No water in the kitchen sink for a week....oh well...it could be worse, right?? At least the craft room is safe...LOL!!! Anyway.....

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge!!! Monika is our hostess this week and she had picked a soft and pretty color palette of pink, purple, and kraft. 

My husband and I celebrate two anniversaries each year....the date we were married and the date we met....great way to get two gifts...LOL!!! The anniversary of the day we met is coming up July 26 so I made this card for the hubs. 
All the dies used on my card today are from Taylored Expressions.

The plus die from the From the Desk Of.... set was cut out of Choice Kraft, the the Open Scallop Border Die was used to cut out the Wisteria Wonder border, and the Always die from the Pockets and Pages February Script die set was used to cut out two diecuts, one pink and one kraft...they were glued together to create a little dimension. A heart embossing folder was used on the round pink layer and the doily, sequins, and the little wood people were all from the Taylored Expressions store. 

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 CTD298 to the keywords section when you upload your cards to an online gallery so we can find your creations!!

You will find all the challenge details on the Color Throwdown Blog.
