Hello, everyone! How are all my stamping friends?
I made it through the weekend of babysitting and am finally able to function as an adult again! It's always fun, but oh so tiring!
Tammy is our Color Throwdown hostess this week and she's chosen a bright and lively color combo for us to play with!

I decided to use my The Art of Nature stamp set from Our Craft Lounge, since the colors are definitely those of nature!!
~
I die cut a frame of Kiwi Kiss cardstock and ran it through my Big Shot using a Cuttlebug folder from the Heritage collection. The sentiment is stamped on a piece of patterned paper, adhered to the front of the white card base, and glittered up a bit! Then the frame is popped up on foam mounting tape over it. I added my corner of flowers, colored with Copic markers, and some seam binding that was dyed in Ranger Distress Spiced Marmalade ink. A couple of the flowers were stamped and colored a second time, glittered, and popped up on foam mounting tape as well. Ta da!
Now it's time to check out what the rest of the ladies of the Color Throwdown team have created for your viewing pleasure!

First time visitor to you blog. I love the color combo, the hint of sparkle, bringing forward a few flowers for dimension. And, I would agree with Carole, the corner really says Wow! to a CAS design. I've enjoyed looking at your work.
