Color Throwdown #137

Hi there - welcome back to another Color Throwdown color challenge. It's my week to host and these are the colors I chose...fun, bright, springy colors...



and here is my card using a new image by DRS Designs...



The focal point, the spring wording square is the new image. You can see all the great new releases HERE. How do you like the background? Pretty cool huh? It's actually this flower border, stamped 3 times as close as I could without overlapping. After stamping, I colored the image and then cut out along the edges. I used a small craft knife to get to the inside areas. The panel is raised on pop dots. I added some ribbon, of course, and a button and jewels to finish things off.

Be sure to head on over to the other CTD designers blogs...

Love how you used that flower border, Cathy! It makes a wonderful back drop for that awesome sentiment panel!

OMG, you trimmed around all those pretty flowers from the triple-stamped flower border?! Gorgeous, girl! Your coloring is brilliant and your bg and palette are a perfect setting for the pretty sentiment layer! Great, fresh choice of colors this week!!
