Color Throwdown #162 and Some Exciting News!!

Hello everyone.....I have some exciting news to share with you!!! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to be one of the newbie designers on the Color Throwdown Challenge Blog....Whoohoo!!!!! What a fabulous group of stampers...I am truly honored to be in their esteemed company, I tell ya!!!  Every Wednesday one of the CTD Designers has a new color challenge for you...this week it's Tammy's turn and what gorgeous colors she chose!!!

My card features the little Paper Smooches owl from the Chubby Chums set and the sentiment from the Paper Smooches Friendly Flowers set. The owl was paper pieced with a piece of Creamy Caramel cardstock that was sponged around the edges and patterned papers from Bo Bunny's Timepiece collection. The background was sponged with pool party, the branch was hand cut from Early Expresso, sewing was done around the background layers, and the ribbon, twine, button, and doily finish it off.

This is also for a few other challenges:
1. Order of the Opus Gluei - owl
2. Paper Sundaes - lots of layers
3. Sentimental Sundays - sewing or stitching
4. Crafty Catz - things with wings

Thanks for stopping by today.......I hope you can join us for this weeks challenge....remember, you don't have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown Challenge...... use the closest you have.  Use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily.
