Just Thinking of You - Color Throwdown #99

~

I can not believe we're almost to Color Throwdown #100!!  We are all SO EXCITED for our HUGE celebration and giveaway next week.  I hope you are too!

Barbara is filling in for Danielle, who is on a family vacation this week.  Here are the colors that Danielle chose for us to play with:

Aren't they yummy?  I thought so.  And I thought they were a very vintage combination, so that's the direction I headed with my card.  I also wanted to play along with the 2 Sketches 4 You challenge this week - Laura's Sketch 55 - since my friend Kimberly Crawford of Mint Motif is the sponsor.

So here's my card:

I used the rock-and-roll technique for the squares using antique linen and walnut stain Distress inks.  A lot of the cardstock edges are distressed and I dyed the seam binding with tumbled glass Distress ink.

We'd really love for you to play along with us.  Shouldn't you practice for the big challenge next week???  Um, yeah, I thought so!  Come on over to the original Throwdown!!

Here's some great inspiration for you from the fabulous design team:~

This is so beautiful! Those distressed panels look like a secret door I'd love to open, except it's perfectly tied closed with that great ribbon and secured with those lovely buttons!

Just gorgeous, Broni....I am coveting that seam binding. I guess I will have to try my hand at dying some!
