My favorite color!

They're using my favorite color at this week's Color Throwdown, so I had to have a play!


supplies: 2 greys, 4 blues and 1 green cardstocks, Hero Arts Designer Woodgrain stamped in charcoal ink, PTI Bloom Builders #3, buttons, Essentials by Ellen Bold Blossoms (leaves), Simon's love you die

I made my own planking in the background with a woodgrain stamp, then cut it apart and repieced it onto a darker grey backing.  The rest of the elements are die-cuts, and I put buttons in the center of the flowers.

Don't you just love this inspiration photo with the gorgeous shades of seaglass?


Thanks for stopping by - enjoy your weekend!
