Happy Thursday, peeps! The week is on the downhill slide! I've been busy planning for clubs and camps but I did manage to squeak in a little card for a couple of challenges! I haven't played with the Color Throwdown challenge for a long time, and Amy at Freshly Made Sketches has an interesting sketch:
I went way, way, way back in the archives of my stamp room to retrieve some retired colors for my card today....anyone remember Certainly Celery or Barely Banana? I used cardstocks in those two hues, plus the more recently-retired Seaside Spray, to diecut some My Favorite Things flowers to create this:
I layered a few of the flowers, added some simple punched centers and a sentiment from Hand-Penned Petals, then attached them to a Basic White mat embossed with the Stitched Greenery die:
I mounted it all on a Certainly Celery base! It was fun to pull out those old colors! Thanks for popping in today, enjoy it and be blessed!

ReplyDeleteI don't remember those colors, but I clearly understand why you'd bring them out to play today: FABulous!

Gorgeous card, LeAnne! Certainly Celery and Barely Banana will always be two of my favorites. I remember so many people being upset when Certainly Celery retired!! Maybe it will be one of the returning colors in the new Annual Catty.
ReplyDeleteThis is adorable …..love all the stitches! And I have a drawer of retired colors that I need to open more often!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, LeAnne! And yes! I remember those colors! They are lovely...all the colors, past and present, have a place. Color is beautiful and so fun to play with!
