Since it’s Wednesday, it’s time for the Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Danielle has a sweet color combo for us.

For my card, I brought out my Die-namics Well Worn Greetings Die & Stamp Set. Much as I love all the new stuff, this set remains a favorite and go to set for me. And this paper, from MME’s Indie Chic “Nutmeg” Collection, was so close to the color combo that I went with it :) I’m also using MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge #48 for my layout.

After I cut out all my focal image layers, I stamped the sentiment with Pool Party Ink and the border with Crumb Cake. I did some stitching and added a Die-namics Royal Rose and some Die-namics Royal Leaves for accent.


I stamped the sentiment on the inside the same way.

  4. Love the mix of patterned paper you used. Your rolled flower is so pretty, too--I'd never think to use a patterned paper for a flower like this, but you make it look fabulous.
