CTD134 Decidedly Different

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  Another Color Throwdown today, with Danielle as our hostess!  Fun colors today, and I’ve used them in a crazy way!  First, let’s see the hues:

I have been trying to keep on track with my weekly Christmas cards, so I made a wacky, decidedly different Christmas card using Danielle’s colors:

Since this image is fairly large, I sized this card to fit into a business-size envelope.  I stamped the panels in the three colors, then cut out the smaller sections and adhered them; the scalloped mat is actually two mats aligned and adhered together as one.  I used some dyed seam binding, baker’s twine, (thanks, Tammy!) a button and a flashy orange snowflake (roll with me here, people) for my embellishments:

Definitely out of the box, but I am loving it!  I know some jolly soul will enjoy it at Christmas time!  And just a hint…..remove your project from your work area before dying your seam binding…..let’s just say that a white gel pen came in handy on this project. 

Well, we hope you can play along with us this week!  Even if you don’t have these exact colors, use something close. All the details are over at the Color Throwdown blog!  And here are the designers’ links if you’d like to peek at their creations:
