It's time for another week of the Color Throwdown and this week Cathy chose our color combo of Certainly Celery, Almost Amethyst and Basic Black. I had to bum a piece of Amost Amethyst from my BSF Anita, and then I started this card over so many times I ruined it and had to switch to a Bazzill cardstock that was a similar shade! LOL (Sorry 'Nita!)
This is such a striking color combination, and I really hope you'll have time to play along today! Be sure to post a comment with a direct link to your card back on the Color Throwdown blog so we can see your creation. And remember if you upload to SCS, use the keywords CTD4.
Each of the Color Throwdown designers have a very unique take on these colors, so be sure to check out their creations, too!
Happy stamping!
Stamps: Lavender (My Favorite Things); Cardstock: Fairy Dust, Black OP (Bazzill), Certainly Celery (Stampin' Up!), white (Gary Burlin); Inks: Adirondack Pitch Black (Ranger), Versamark (Tsukineko), markers (Copic); Accessories: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder (ProvoCraft), oval Nestabilities (Spellbinders), dew drops (Robin's Nest), ribbon (craft supply).
Beautiful card, Tammy! I love that you used a black base. It makes everything really pop! And what a perfect stamp - Lavender- to use with the colors!!

What a stunning card! Love these colors, and I would never have thought of putting them together. The image you chose is perfect. I ordered it, but it hasn't seen ink yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
