For the third week in a row, the Color Throwdown Challenge has called my name. I love these bright party colors:
And it was a perfect opportunity to play with some new products from The Greetery’s latest release. Admittedly, I’d change a couple of things about this card if the challenge didn’t end in just an hour or two, but it’s colorful and cheerful, and I love Betsy’s new pinwheel stencils. I purchased the dies as well, and have lots of things to try with this set as well as the “Birthday Blooms” set which I used for the sentiment.
I added just a couple enamel dots as embellishment as well as using some dimensional tape for the centers of the orange pinwheels and the die cut sentiment. Betsy’s die cut designs for the sentiments in “Birthday Blooms” are sheer genius!
Hope your week is off to a good start! The weather here is cooler than it’s been, but just about perfect in my opinion—warm enough to eat on the patio, but not too hot to walk a couple of miles without sweating.
I really like this card. Don’t know what a pinwheel is, but the design looks to me like Japanese paper parasols, seen from above. Great colours too.
Such a fun fiesta card! I loved this set and a couple others but alas everything was gone by the time I remembered to look (about two hours late). PTI had an old stamp set called Snowflake Flurries that resembles this but the stencils look more versatile.
i love this. so festive and fun. thanks for linking up to CTD.
Very cheerful colours, I think of sherbets. The pinwheels also remind me of parasols & I really like the script of celebrate.
So cheerful and fun! The popsicles look good, too!
Oh, these are such a breath of summer sunshine! (Especially on a day like today when it’s 48F (argh), and rained all day.) The little enamel dots are a perfect addition.
