My Inspiration For Color Throwdown
I have a list of Challenge Blogs that I check first thing each morning. Usually I check them before I leave for work. Then, I can think about them through out the day and sometimes, by the time I get home from work I'm ready to start on something. Color Throwdown is on my list for Wednesday. When I saw the colors this morning - Black, Cranberry and Grey Wool (CTMH colors) I wasn't too inspired.
After lunch I decided I had better start a list for things I needed to get at 'Wally World'. I reached up to grab a sheet from my new notepad a co-worker gave me at Christmas. OH WOW! I was suddenly inspired! Below is my list. BTW, I decided the list wasn't long enough to warrant a trip to the Walmart - so I put it off. Besides, I now had better things to do!

And here is my card inspired by my notepad and the colors from Color Throwdown!
I used the stamp set - Eclectic Edges (C1450) and Silver Embossing for my border. The stamp across the grey cardstock is also from Eclectic Edges. I used the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge for my intricate flower and the branch. The flower turned out beautiful although it was like picking fleas off a dog to get all those little pieces out of there! I stayed patient and, surprising to me, I didn't tear it! The center of the flower has a Grey Opaque Adhesive Gem in the center. The flower was cut at 2 3/4". "I LOVE YOU" is from December's Stamp of the Month - Mad About You (no longer available)
This was a fun card to create. I hope you enjoyed it!
