Swept Up - Color Throwdown #158

~

Hey, everyone!

It's my week to host the Color Throwdown!  I have no idea what inspired me to choose this color combination but I really do like the way all the colors look together!

I've used my new Swept Up Crafty Cling Single stamp set from Our Craft Lounge to get a start on my Halloween cards for all the grandkids.  This is definitely an unusual Halloween color mix, but I think it works!

I decided to also use Jen's September SFYTT sketch.  I love it!

I hope you'll play along in the CTD challenge with us!  Just give us a direct link to your card in today's CTD blog post.

Now here is some great inspiration for you from the CTD sisters:

Before I go, I'd like to take this opportunity to wish my beautiful daughter, Jennifer, a very happy birthday today!  Here are a couple of photos from her performance this past weekend.

This is DARLING, Broni! LOVE the Halloween-theme in these colors, and that stamp set is CUUUUTE!

Oh my goodness, Broni! You're daughter is a ballerina?! Wow! Uh-oh: I guess that makes you a DANCE MOM!!!! (Have you seen that show on Lifetime yet? It's right after Project Runway - you MUST watch it!) I love your sweet card - so beautifully colored. I'm in awe!

[Linda Carson]

What a sweet and charming Halloween card Broni!! And your daughter is absolutely lovely!! WOW! What a treasure it must be to watch her dance!!

[Danielle]

I just love the layout of this card! The image is adorable and colored superbly! The colors are great together! Happy Birthday to your beautiful ballerina daughter!

[Starla]

I love the non traditional halloween colors on this card!
BUT! I must say, your card was over shadowed by the awe I felt when I saw the photos of your daughter! I think most little girls dream of being a ballerina (even, if, only for a day!) and your "little" girl is a gorgeous ballerina!

[Dawn Burnworth]

I love this card. What a sweet image and sentiment. Your coloring is perfect. Your daughter is gorgeous. You must be so proud.
