It’s Wednesday, and that means Color Throwdown! Broni is our hostess this week, and she has really “thrown down” a challenge for us today! Check out these:
A couple weeks ago, Broni had a very cool Christmas card that used some bright colors, so in honor of her, I thought I would case her idea! Here’s my take on the challenge colors:
I used sketch73 from Unscripted Sketches:
along with some Basic Grey Marrakesh paper and an ornament from Tree Trimmings by SU. Isn’t it cool how the blue BG paper has a little bit of the other two challenge colors in it? I love that effect!
