Color Throwdown #122

I actually had a chance to participate with my CTD teammates today! Laura is our hostess with these beautiful seasonal colors:

I had seen this lovely CAS card on SCS and thought it was a nice way to use just a portion of the Christmas Collage background stamp, so I stamped the image on Very Vanilla in Chocolate Chip ink and cut it into sections:

I colored the holly with inks and blender pen, then added some Gold Painty pen around the edges and added a few little “water spots” with the spot image from French Foliage. The Pear Pizzazz panel was cut with the Top Note diecut; I added a lace, seam binding and gold thread bow captured with an Antique brad; and finally finished it with my little chickadee from Crafty Secrets’ Vintage Christmas.

I couldn’t find my white gel pen (my desk is a MESS) but when I do, I’ll add some highlights to my berries! I hope you can find time in your busy schedule to play along with us. This will be our last CTD challenge for the year, but we’ll be back in January with some new ones for you! You can check out all the other designers’ samples here:
