Color Throwdown 2

After rarely playing along with the Color Throwdown Challenge, I have a card for the second week in a row. When I saw the color combination, I knew I’d try to do something. Like last week, the combo spoke to me.

So today when I sat down to do some coloring for the #100DayProject, I picked out three turquoise Copic markers and stamped a butterfly from “Beautiful Butterflies,” the stamp set in the June Simon Say Card Kit. It’s a wonderful set, and this is the second card I’ve created with it this week. I’m posting nearly every day on Instagram as part of the #100DayProject, but eventually, most of the cards will show up here as well.

I found the turquoise paper behind the heart in one of my folders of precut papers. I have no idea where that circle die came from—I certainly can’t find it today. I have done a couple big purges since the beginning of the year, but I don’t think I’ve given away any dies. The heart was cut with a nested set of heart dies by My Favorite Things. 

Both the white panel and the butterfly are adhered with dimensional foam/tape. The sentiment is another from Taylored Expressions “Simple Strips.” I love that you can stamp, emboss, and then die cut a whole group of sentiments at one time. I keep them in a little bag and can pull them out when needed. 

Hope your weekend is a good one! As usual, during this stay-at-home time, ours will be pretty quiet. Tracy is doing a lot of yard work. He’s taken down four straggly trees along our property line in preparation for extending the fence he started last year. A nearly dead hedge along the edge of the patio also went to the curb today. Things are looking brighter–literally. I have a few more flowers to plant, but most of my to-do list is inside.
