Good morning everyone!!! It's Wednesday again and time for another Color Throwdown Challenge! The fabulous and very talented Bar is our hostess and she has picked some bright and cheerful colors for us this week!!!! Remember, you don't have to use the exact colors...use what you have that comes close...we want everyone to have a chance to play!! I have some very exciting news, too....my sweet friend, Denise Marzec will be joining our Color Throwdown team....Whoohoo!!!!! Denise is such a fabulous designer and I am thrilled that she said yes!!!!!!
My card features the cute little balloons and sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Up, Up, and Away set and the Mojo Monday #252 sketch. The balloons were paper pieced with papers from Echo Park's Country Drive and Bo Bunny'a Gabrielle. The clouds were cut out with dies and embossed with the Dotted Swiss embossing folder. The background Marina Mist layer was also embossed and the twine finishes it off.
Be sure
to add CTD203 to the
keywords when you upload your card to an online gallery so we can find your
work!!
