Beauty of Dreams! Color Throwdown and some Happy News!





Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I have some fun news to share with you today!  The girls at The Color Throwdown have asked me to be their June Guest Designer!  How fun!   The colors for this week's CTD144 were  chosen by the hostess, Cathy Rulli. 


For my card I am using Flourishes Life Lines stamp set. I kept this card pretty simple.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Rose Bud and sponged the edges with Ranger Marmalade.  I added a little branch rose twig I got with some blog candy out in blogland.  I cannot remember who exactly, but thank you so much!  It is perfect! I love that the leaves have touches of pumpkin pie at the ends.  Finished with seam binding and bow!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Please check out The Color Throwdown designers to see what they created with these colors!
