I'm back! I posted a haul video earlier and now it's time to share my card for this week's Color Throwdown Challenge:
I loved the colors for this week's challenge (honestly I love them every week - it gets me to think outside my norm for color selection plus it takes away a big part of the planning when the colors are already chosen for me LOL!).
Here's what I came up with:
It's been rather gloomy here weather-wise lately (and it can't make up it's mind - we had a couple of BEAUTIFUL warm sunny days then super windy, then overcast and rainy with a bunch of snow to top it off - all in the span of 3-4 days) so these bright flowers just make me happy.
I pulled out the new Spring Flowers set from Simon Says Stamp along with their new Choose Happy set (that I'd made the rainbow coffee cards with the other day) and some Distress Inks.
I gotta say that new Candied Apple Distress Ink is a fabulous red - like RED red. It's just perfect.
SO hard to capture any of the Wink of Stella shimmer in a photo - in the video I can show it a lot better - it's definitely one of those things where pics/video don't do it justice and then you see it in real life and THEN you get what the fuss is about LOL!
