It's Wednesday, and that means Color Throwdown! Kristin is our hostess this week with an interesting color combo---what do you think? Get your creative juices flowing, hop on over to the CTD blog and check out the rules & regs, then let us see what you come up with!
My mind immediately went to my BG Ambrosia paper, and I had the Inspired by Nature set already on my desk, so I put them together! I stamped the image twice on a Top Note panel, once in Tangerine and again in Saffron:
Since the image is so large, it didn't need much else....a Basic Gray scalloped panel at the bottom to complement the Basic Gray taffeta ribbon, and a sentiment framed in a Silver Hodgepodge Hardware element. I did not have a gray corduroy brad, so I dyed a tan one with reinker ink! The "shadow" Top Note panel is some retired Haiku paper, and the final touch was a few Tangerine Tango butterflies.
Since I am still on DH's computer, I don't have all the other DT's websites saved, but you can find their work right there on the CTD blog! Hope you can play along with us this week!
