It's time for another Color Throwdown, and this week I am the hostess this week! I recently got some of the gorgeous new Wisteria designer paper from Basic Grey, so I used it as my inspiration for the colors this week. As always, remember that you don't have to use these exact colors... just whatever you have that's close. As a matter of fact, none of the cardstock on my card is from Stampin' Up! Also, please note that you do not have to make only a card! Any project is more than welcome!
Have you been busy over at the
Stampin' Out Alzheimers website, checking out and participating in the challenges? Well, if you're registered at the site, and you participate in the Throwdown before Sunday, May 31st at 11:59 p.m. EST you'll be entered into a drawing to win a 6x6 pad of the Wisteria paper from Basic Grey! So, get busy!

For my card today, I used what is quickly becoming a favorite new image from Penny Black, the Fresh Field flowers. I colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin' Up and Tombow markers, then cut out the image with my Nestabilities. I thought the stamped image and the designer paper I chose out of my 6x6 pad were a great match!
Check out the other fabulous creations from the Throwdown Girls!
Remember, everyone who participates also gets a chance to be chosen as our Featured Stamper next week! AND we're picking one of the Featured Stamprs to be our Guest Designer for the whole month of July! So c'mon... stamp, stamp, stamp!!!
Thanks for stopping by today! Your comments brighten my day!
