CTD 260-- Absolutely!!

Happy Wednesday and thanks for stopping by to see the newest Color Throwdown colors. Tammy picked some gorgeous ones!

 
Now, I LOVE flowers and when I first saw the inspiration pic... that was absolutely the route I was going to take. Then, I looked in my basket of NBUS (never been used stuff) as Darnell would say and saw this die by Simon Says Stamps.... so I went a totally different direction.



I was thinking of a couple blogging friends while making this (Tammy who started a new job on Monday- whoo hoo and Jeanne who became a dirty girl on SCS- congrats!)

For more inspiration, you'll want to stop by and visit the other team members' blogs as well as our talented September guestie - Susan Roberts (rainy). Her blog is called Rainy Day Creations.

Barbara Anders - Paper Pursuits
Broni Holcombe - Splashes of Watercolor
Joan Ervin - Stamping With Passion
Lori Tecler - Inking Aloud
Lynn Put - The Queen's Scene 
Tammy Hershberger - Stamp Happy
 Wanda Cullen - Cullen-ary Creations 
 
Remember, if you don't have the exact colors, use whatever you have that's close...the color police won't come after you--this is all about having fun!  If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD258.  Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog.  

When you are finished with your creation, head over to the Color Throwdown blog to add your entry to the Inlinkz tool.  Can't wait to see what you create! 

Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!
