So, I was talking to Julee the other day and she mentioned that she just got her new box of Stampin' Up! colors! Then, she thought it would be fun to do a new color throw down! I couldn't exactly say no because I'm usually the one issuing these "throw downs" (and then not doing them {{teehehee}})! Oh wait...I guess I kind of issued this one as well because I chose the colors. Man, I guess I need to not be so bossy! :-)
Anyway, the top two colors on my new cardstock pile were Early Espresso (definitely a FAVE) and Daffodil Delight. So that's what the throw down is...Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight (with a color of our choice thrown in for good measure)!
As you can see...the color I chose to "add in" was Cherry Cobbler! Mmmm, mmmm! I do love me a good red! :-)
I had envisioned some big, bold flowers...so I used my Spellbinder's blossom dies to create them! After they were cut out, I stamped them with the polka dot background image (from the Bountiful Backgrounds set by Verve) using Versamark ink. Using my 1" and 3/4" circle punches I created some "centers" for my flowers using the Early Espresso cardstock. For the center flower, I first embossed the smile sentiment (from the Circular Sayings set by Verve) using White Detail e.p. and then punched it out. A few buttons, some stitching, and several rhinestones later and my card was finished!
Make sure to head on over to Julee's blog and check out the AWESOME card she made!!!
