Happy Wednesday! It's my turn to host the Color Throwdown and I have (as usual) challenged my team with my three colors of Rich Razzleberry, Elegant Eggplant and Bordering Blue....(for some reason, they just don't like the blues!!!) I was enthralled by the flowers that Mona made for the Just Us Girls Challenge Week 4 and I thought the rich colors of the challenge would look great with this technique. (She has a video tutorial, so check it out!) If you don't have these exact colors, feel free to substitute as we want everyone to play! Here is my sample:
I think this is an elegant color combo and although I would not be able to put this card in an envelope, it would be a nice card to tuck into a gift bag for some lucky recipient!

Whoa! Stunning card!!! The flower is so intricate. Love it!
Oh My Goodness LeAnne, Your card is BEAUTIFUL! I am so glad you liked the video & gave it a try! I love this week's color combo that you chose & I can't start playing with them!!! :)
Wowza LeAnne this is gorgeous! Those colors are awesome and that flower and your layout are awesome too!
This is just stunning LeAnne! It was well worth waiting for too!! I love the colors you used on this, and the graduated stamped panels are the perfect compliment to this gorgeous flower! Love it!!
Wow - how pretty LeAnne! I love that flower and your beautiful panels!
Ooh girl! This is gorgeous! I love these colors!! That bold flower is gorgeous on your lovely layout!!
Oh my LeAnne, this is luscious! I adore your color combo! I think I might just be playing along today! Gorgeous card with your different panels and wonderful flower with crimped leaves! Love it!
I love your flower. It is beautiful. I checked out the video and that was fantastic. I can't wait to try it. Your card and color challenge is a good one. I am going to give it a try. I am home sick. I can't talk. You can't teach first grade three days before Halloween with out a voice. We have off for teachers convention the next two days. I don't think I'll make that but it will give me time to rest my voice and get better. Oh and make cards, the good part.
Gorgeous card, LeAnne! Love the staggered sizes of the background layers and the blinged-out sentiment tag! And your flower is awesome!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this, LeAnn! Even though your color choice gave me a headache, I love them together! LOL!!! Your flower is fabulous, and I thank you for using our challenge in the CTD! Come by next week for our wild card week! It's fabulous! Thanks for having me on the CTD this month...I really enjoyed it! {{{hugs}}}
LeAnne this is STUNNING - of course the flower is a real eye catcher but your colors ARE elegant! Love the layout of the card as well. Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls again. Hope to see you Saturday for a WILD CARD challenge and a special surprise :-)
LeAnne,
I don't have any rich razzleberry - would PTI's Raspberry Fizz be a close color or is that too bright? Or is there another one you recommend? I'm sure I have the eggplant and bordering blue...
Thanks! Hoping to play along.
I LOVE this card!!!! WOW - time to pick up my chin off the floor. Stunning! I may have to case this - the flower is A-MAZING, but the colors and layout are also fantastic. Wow! Great job. Thanks for sharing!

LeAnne, your flower is stunning!!! And the card ain't shabby, either, LOL! Seriously, the whole thing is just gorgeous!
This is absolutely JAW DROPPING my dear! LOVE your flourished panels in the different sizes and I am picking my jaw up off the floor after seeing that STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL flower!! OMG, it's amazing!!!! Your watermark suits this card perfectly as well ;]

Congrats on Chic of the week!!! It is so well deserved! Your card still amazes me - I just love it. Matter of fact - I've saved the pic on my computer so I can try to case it later (of course giving you credit for the stunning design :)). Can't wait to see more of your work.
This card is simply stunning! The flower with the three panels is just so beautiful together!
