Hello, my friends! It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge! Laura is our hostess today and she's chosen a plethora of soft sweet colors for us to play with!

Fun, huh? So I decided to go with a fun card, too!
Not only am I using the Color Throwdown colors, I'm also using the CPS219 sketch and I'm playing along in the Our Craft Lounge challenge to use twine! And here's my card using the Our Craft Lounge stamp set Swingin' By!

Can you spot the twine? I used it for the ropes on the swing!
And since Laura is hosting, it's only fitting that I used her Sentiment Flag die for my cute sentiment!
I hope you'll play along with us! You guys were awesome in your response to the challenge last week! You can find all the details at the Color Throwdown blog.
Now check out the awesomeness that is the CTD design team:
