It's time for another Color Throwdown challenge! As I mentioned last week, I'm the April Guestie for the fabulous group of stampers that get together each week for a color challenge on the Color Throwdown blog. This week's challenge hostess is noneother than Cathy Rulli, and here's the combo she's throwing down:
Teal... again! I don't think I've made a teal card in over a year, then I make two in a row. Strange, huh? I like teal, though, and it saved me a trip to the file cabinet (where I keep my cardstock), so I'm not complaining. Anywhoodle, here's what I put together, for your viewing enjoyment:
This bathing beauty is Brigitte, one of the Everyday Girls from Kraftin' Kimmie's Moonlight Whispers line. The sketch is by my buddy, Michele Boyer, for this week's Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge. Gotta love a two-fer! Michele also gave me that cute felt Prima flower embellishment. I used a variety of 6" x 6" patterned papers to get all the colors in -- the celery floral is by Lilybean Paperie, the sumer sun circles is a Cosmo Cricket (DeLovely, I think), and the teal plaid is from October Afternoon (actually it's from an 8"x8" pad - Ducks In a Row). See that lovely border? It's the oh-so-fabulous Apron Border CutUps die from The Cat's Pajamas. {love, love, love it!}
Wanna play along with this week's challenge? Then just link up your design to today's post on the Color Throwdown blog. For lots of inpsiration, more cards created with this bright and bold combo, and perhaps a wrestling/ninja move or two, go visit the Color Throwdown designers:
