Well I started slipping already (insert eyeroll here) and am late with this week's Color Throwdown challenge! In my defence my kids started school this week so it's been a big change to routine and I ain't gonna lie - momma's a little tired LOL.
Anywho - this week's Color Throwdown Challenge was inspired by this:
Check out the CTD blog HERE <-----click! The team posts what they make and there's a widget at the end of the post for people to enter links to their creations using these colors - TONS of inspiration and anyone is welcome to play along! All the info/rules are on the Color Throwdown Challenge blog.
So here's what I created:
I went with dots instead of stripes (those who know me and my obsession with black and white stripes are probably a little shocked) - mostly because when I pulled out my much loved Dots & Stripes Neutral 6x6 pack there weren't any black and white striped papers left in it LOL! I do have another new pack of it but decided to use these polka dot papers b/c they're cute too!
I wanted to use the new MFT Thank You Circle Frame Die-namics, and pairing it with the Shaker Flower Die-namics was just a given LOL! I big puffy heart this die set and reach for it often.
I used the new A2 Rectangle STAX (Set 2) Die-namics for this card - if y'all missed me raving about this set in my Release & Review video you can check it out HERE. I am SOOOOO happy MFT made these a reality!
I filled the shaker pouch with a bunch of Pretty Pink Posh 4mm sequins and their marshmallow seed beads - backed with black and white polka dot paper of course.
I finished the inside of the card with red and white striped patterned paper from MFT's Hearts & Stripes paper pack (all die cut with the A2 Rectangle STAX Set 2) and white card stock that I stamped a sentiment from the Grateful for You set.
That sentiment jumped out to me as I was looking at the set - if I could make a card with that to send to each and every one of you that takes the time out of your day to visit my corner of the interweb and leave such wonderfully sweet comments and use my links etc etc etc I would! Consider this card a virtual ((((hug))))) from me <3

I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube. If the product images have sets of letters below the image it means there's more than one place it can be purchased. SSS = Simon Says Stamp, AZ = Amazon, MFT = My Favourite Things, SnS = Scrap N Stamp (Canada) etc. Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home with my kids! I appreciate your support more than words can say!
I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
