Stamptacular Sunday Challenge, Blog Candy Winner, Color Throwdown, and MORE!

Happy Sunday! It is tme for Stamptacular Sunday Challenge! This week's challenge is "Whateva!" I love these kind of challenges because the sky is the limit. Cill is also doing a Design Team call! Check out the link to find out how to play and to enter for the DT call! We have a wonderful sponsor this week. Skipping Stones Design is the sponsor. I am using Skipping Stones Design Dandelion Dreams. This set has so many wonderful solid image designs and fabulous sentiments. I chose just one of the images in this set. I rocked and rolled with some Memento pear tart and bahama inks. I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment to make two separate words for my sentiment tags. I added a few MS butterflies and my card was done. Check out the link and play along with us today!

I am using the colors from The Color Throwdown #126. I have to admit that oftentimes four colors throw me a bit...hence the throwdown part I guess. However, the greens really did me in. Making sure I used both. I am using some Webster's dp which looks a lot like old olive. I am also using Memento pear tart ink on my image which looks like kiwi kiss. So, I hope I at least achieved those colors. I hope the other two are quite obvious.

I used somebodies sketch, but I cannot remember whose?

I just had to share! I am totally smittened with seam binding. I used cream on my card today. This cream color is just as it comes off of the spool....bottom right of photo. I spent a little bit of time today dyeing this wonderful stuff with various reinkers. I only did a few yards at a time. I just screamed with delight when they were dried. I am IN LOVE with this stuff. WOW! Thought I'd share!

The Winner Is......

Wow, Betty, this is a beauty. I love the colors and all that wonderful texture. I'm in love the the shabby seam binding too! I really love being able to custom dye it to match whatever project I am working on. I just light up with a grin every time I dye and scrunch and dry it.

Your card today is lovely - I really like your style - and the colours work so well together.
