What happens on Vacation...

Welcome to this weeks Color Throwdown #52 which is being generously sponsored by Clear & Simple Stamps! Barbara is this weeks hostess and has chosen Perfect Plum, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip for the color combo...don't they sound yummy?!

I used the stamp set Jet Setter Darling to make this fun card. It's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black on Neenah Solar Crest White Ultra Smooth and colored with Copics. I stamped small images of sunglasses, jet planes, and a suitcase in Wisteria chalk ink from Colorbox all over the plum panel and then affixed it to the striped paper from My Minds Eye with these fun flop flop brads I picked up really cheap at Michaels last year (or the year before?). I then stamped around the outside of the panel with some additional sentiments and more jets. I also added some flower shaped gems from Kaiser on her bag and a couple round ones to the main sentiment. I used Copics to dye the plain paper Prima flowers and used brads and a button to finish them off. I also sponged a bit of Wisteria around the main image panel.
