I'm not sure I've ever managed to make a card for a challenge on the day the challenge went live, but today I did. As soon as I saw the colors, I knew what I wanted to do. Here's the new Color Throwdown inspiration.
I have a lovely stash of colored images from the #100DayProject, and knew there were some bright yellow and orange flowers, and spring green leaves. They're all from Simon Says "Spring Flowers" line. I have two of the sets, but I think there may be four or five now.
I die cut the front of the card with an oval die cut and backed it with a piece of patterned paper from the Papertrey Ink "Lovely Lace" pack. It went with one of their Make It Market kits. I never owned the kit, but purchased one of the paper packs when there was a huge sale. I was actually looking for something else when I found this which is much better than my original idea.
The sentiment strip is from Taylored Expressions "Simple Strips." I resisted purchasing that for a long time, but so glad I decided to buy it as I reach for one of them over and over again.
