Today's colors were inspired by this sweet baby blanket that's just full of trendy stuff... the gingham, the chevrons, the color palette, so get inspired and start creating!
Played with new WPlus9 stamps/dies.... Valentine Wishes and More Fresh Cuts! Did a bunch of tone on tone stamping with grays and added a pop of color with the flower. The background is SU's smoky slate... just love this gray. Don't you just adore that sentiment!! I went CAS on this one... haven't stamped/played in two weeks so.... just trying to get back in the groove.
And the NEWS... a NEW TEAM MEMBER! The very talented and sweet Monika Davis (some of you may know her as "Buzsy"!) is joining the Color Throwdown team, so be sure to check out her fabulous creation and stop by her blog with a welcome comment! We're very happy to have her join the team.
