With Deepest Sympathy - Color Throwdown #309

~

Hey and happy Wednesday, y'all!  I'm ready for the weekend already! How about you?

This week we're starting a little something different at the Color Throwdown.  Always in the past we've used the Stampin' Up! colors for our color swatch.  Well, we wanted to open up the color spectrum a little; so now we're only using the colors themselves and not the SU color names.  It should still be easy to match to SU colors, but now it may be a little easier for others to match to their own paper collections as well. 

Vickie is our wonderful and talented hostess this week and here's her chosen palette:

I decided to use all the bold colors to their fullest on my card.  No white for me this week!  I used Basic Gray, Island Indigo, Baja Breeze and Lucky Limeade as my paper choices.

The "leaves" are actually a new Prima stencil called Décor II.  I pressed my Versamark pad through the stencil onto the gray cardstock, then heat embossed it with some lime embossing powder.  I added some shadows using my Stabilo black pencil and smudged them a little with my finger.

We sure hope you'll decide to play along with us this week.  You can find all the details for the challenge at the Color Throwdown blog.  Please be sure to visit and leave some love for each of the design team members!

Thank you so much for stopping in to see me and what I'm up to today.  Enjoy the rest of your week!
