We are up to week #7 of the Color Throwdown already, and this week's colors were chosen by LeAnne Pugliese! My first thought when she told me the colors was "baby card" so that's what I made!
My life has been topsy-turvy lately and I just got home after 9:00 tonight from having a full class of customers at the store (yay!) so my card is super simple! I don't really have anyone in mind to send it to, but now I've got a baby boy card if I need it!
I was really happy to find this striped paper from Paper Salon in my stash that matched the colors so nicely so I ran with it. I also added this old SU! ribbon for an extra punch of color!
Check out the Color Throwdown blog for the cards from the other designers, or just check out their blogs directly by clicking on the links below! Remember if you don't have these exact Stampin' Up! colors just use whatever you have that is similar. We just want everyone to have fun! Post a comment on the CT blog with a direct link to your card, and if you upload to SCS please use the keywords CTD7.
Happy stamping!
Stamps: Green Thumb (Papertrey Ink); Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue, Apricot Appeal (Stampin' Up!), white (Gary Burlin), designer paper (Paper Salon); Inks: Bashful Blue, Ballet Blue, Apricot Appeal (Stampin' Up!); Accessories: clear dew drops (Robin's Nest), ribbon (Stampin' Up!), Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder (ProvoCraft), rectangle Nestabilities (Spellbinders).
Awwww! This is a great card for a baby boy! I really like the color palette too :).

Oh this is adorable! I have a card very similar to this and I won't send it out (in other words, I am hoarding it!) because it is one of my favorites!!! I love the simplicity and sweetness!
