I have some fun news to share! I’ve been ask to be the guest designer for the Color Throwdown Challenges for September starting with this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge #258!! Here is my creation.
Check out this week’s beautiful color palette. Aren’t those greens gorgeous!!
And see those pearls? They used to be a pretty off-white until they were colored with a yummy chocolate Copic marker. I love how they turned out!
Hope that you can find some time to play along. You don’t have to use the exact colors. Just use what you have that are close to the challenge colors. Oh and for some fabulous inspiration, you’ll want to see what all of the Throwdown Designers have created:
Tammy Hershberger – Stamp Happy
Broni Holcombe – Splashes of Watercolor
Lynn Put – The Queens Scene
Melody Rupple – A Paper Melody
Happy Crafting!

What a lovely sentiment and a lovely card!

Oooh, love that upper border with the vine and the plaid edge punch! Haven’t seen that one. Very cool how you colored inside the punched panels. Beautiful sentiment and delicious colors. Nice and warm for fall. Of course, the polka dots make me happy, too. Congrats, and enjoy your time with the team! You’ll be awesome. Sounds like fun!

That border is gorgeous and am loving this great sentiment! Hmmm…instead of buying colored pearls, I’m going to have to try your little trick and try some Copic coloring instead!
Really classy. Love that detailed border at the top!
