Color Throwdown 5th Anniversary Celebration!

Happy Wednesday! The Color Throwdown Challenge is Celebrating its 5 Year Anniversary! I am helping them celebrate because I was a Guest Designer for the challenge a couple of years ago. Check out The Color Throwdown blog for a list of prizes and how you can play along for a chance to win as well as a list of other participating Alumni and Guest Designers!

For my card I am using Verve's Hundred Hearts stamp set along with Verve's Cut Above Flag It and Heart die sets. I am using some MME designer papers which works perfectly for these colors. I used one of the Flag It dies for the tabs on either side of the sentiment. I also used another Flag It die on the top left corner wrapped around for a corner detail. I finished my card with Verve's Spring Fling Ribbon Collection in Sunshine. I am using Deconstructed Sketch 108.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Betty
