I have two posts today so if you are looking for my Serendipity Stamps Challenge post please scroll down. I'm having another one of those "feelin' lucky" days. I was asked to be the guest designer this month at Color Throwdown. If you've been following me for any amount of time you will know that color challenges are always hard for me.
I'm the sort of person that tries to face my shortcomings head on so I usually don't let that get in my way. Did I ever tell you I'm afraid of needles? Every time I need blood drawn I wind up with bandages on both arms and sometimes my wrist too. Back in the old days when I got married you were required to have a blood test. They had such a hard time drawing blood from my arm that they suggested taking it from my neck. I just looked at my now husband and said "you know I love you, but I don't think this is going to work out!" They finally got their required sample with one of those special needles a tube attached. Maybe I'm a masochist because I still attend blood drives, and no they still never get me on the first try. Just sayin.. I'm no quitter.
The colors your asked to use this week are Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive. And here's what I came up with..
I stamped the flower bouquet in the three colors of the week and fussy cut the image. I layered that on a pretty doily and lots of different pattern papers. Something about striped twine that makes me happy so I thought it would make a cheery addition to my card.
