CTD #265 - Remembering You!!

Happy Wednesday and welcome to the next group of colors for this week's Color Throwdown. These colors are brought to us by Joan!! Totally loving those birch trees... but, I had a bunch of fun playing with my new Verve goodies. I haven' played with these shades much but, I LOVE them together!!

The colors....


My card....


I stamped the large circle from Verve's Poppy Birthday stamp set in baked brown sugar, crisp cantaloupe, and pistachio pudding and then, over-stamped the circles/center with not quite navy. Makes a fun-kind of graphic background. Added banners using MFT's flag stax- the colored banners were stamped with a leaf from Verve's Bloom & Grow using versamark for a subtle pattern. The sentiment panel uses an oval nestabilitie, and Verve's Charming Oval and Mini Classy Label dies. Sentiment is from Poppy Birthday.

For more inspiration, you'll want to stop by and visit the other team members' blogs as well as our talented October guestie - Sankari Wegman at  Sankari's Sunshine Corner!

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 CTD262.  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.   

Hope you enjoy the colors and can't wait to see what you create!!

Used Christyne's week 4 sketch....
Even stayed true to the sketch!!

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