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.
It’s super as always. And mighty quickly done too! Great when inspiration hits like that!
I could certainly use some of that inspiration right now. Another card that knocks it out of the park & I particularly like the oval window.
This is so pretty! I love the pattern paper in the oval!
Nice to have items ready to use! That pattern paper adds just the right oomph for the entire design too.
This is just gorgeous, Karen! Thanks so much for joining us at the Color Throwdown this week!
