The Color Throwdown is back!

swatch 123

Happy New Year everyone! Welcome to the first Color Throwdown challenge for 2011. CTD123 is hosted by Tammy and then Kristin created some digi paper in these very colors which you can download for free from the Color Throwdown blog!

Also this week we are welcoming back LeAnne after a short leave and a new guest designer, Lori Tecler. Yay!

I used this adorable image called Crumbs and Farley from Eat Cake Graphics. I had it for a while and I finally inked it up…and glad I did! Aren’t they sweet?

The image is stamped on Flourishes Classic White cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I created a shadow around the image with various blue Prisma color pencils and after cutting the image with a rectangle Spellbinder die I inked inside the die with Versa Magic in Wheat. The lattice print paper and the floral are both digi papers created by Kristin. The ribbon is seam binding that I dyed by spraying with Glimmer Mist in Vanilla and Starfish. It’s a coral pink color a bit darker than Cameo Coral but a lovely accent. The friend sentiment is from an old clear set that I don’t have any info on. I think it might be from Stampendous…in addition to another sentiment it has a large whimsical butterfly and dragonfly with smiley faces. I used Laura’s banner die on the sentiment found at Lil’ Inker Designs.

Please visit the Color Throwdown blog to see all the great samples this week, play along with the challenge for a chance to be the next featured stamper, and to get your free digi paper! Check out the ladies below too!
