It seems that another Wednesday has rolled around. But not just any Wednesday....although another Color Throwdown is reason enough to celebrate, let's do it up right this week, 'cause it's LeAnne's birthday!!

I hope you have a wonderful birthday, LeAnne!

Now on to the color challenge for this week:

I chose to use florals this week, because frankly, I couldn't decide what else to do with these colors! I painted some grungepaper with riding hood red and certainly celery reinkers, then stamped them with a dotted background stamp from the Fancy Fringe set from Our Craft Lounge. Then I stamped the Pretty Petals flowers, stem and leaves (also from Our Craft Lounge) on top and cut them out.

Why don't you all play along with us? We love seeing your creations! You can get all the details on the Color Throwdown blog and then see all the beautiful inspiration of the design team here:
