A Shabby Color Throwdown
Yes, I played two challenges today — AMAZING! First I started with Color Throwdown #157. Actually, I was asked to fill in as Guest this week, so that was FUN. THANK YOU LADIES!!! Here’s the colors:
And here’s my card using those colors, the best I could. I don’t have all the current SU colors, so I did the best with what I had.
I used a new September release from JustRite called Greetings from Paris. LOVE this set and it’s coordinates in the September release. For paper I used Reflections by Prima as the colors were so close to the challenge colors — how lucky can one get! All coordinates to Reflections can be seen here. Other supplies used on this card are:
May Arts Ribbon: 1.5″ Silky Crushed, 1/2″ Wrinkled, both in Burgundy
Primas Flowers: Sugar Blooms (Reflections), 4 Seasons Velvet Leaves
Kaisercraft Rhinestones in Lippy Red
Spellbinders Dies: Labels Four, Labels Four Small, Parisian Accents
This card is standard A2 sized and will be stored in and presented in an A2 Clear Box.

OK, I said I played two challenges and I did. Once my card got underway, I realized it was right in line with this week’s JustRite Shabby Chic Challenge, so I’m playing along over on the JustRite Blog as well. Be sure to go there to check out all the DT samples and player uploads — lots of gorgeousness over there!
