Today's Color Throwdown #38 is being hosted by Broni! She picked a combo that I would never have thought of, but I think you'll see from the other designers cards what a stunning combination it is and just how much you can do with it! You can see all the samples, including a special sample from our April Guest Designer, Mandy Sarver by visiting the Throwdown blog, or by visiting each designer's blog listed here...

And here's my card, made with a really old Paper Inspirations stamp that was gathering dust on my shelf!
I hope you'll have time to play along with the challenge! Remember, if you don't have these exact colors, just use the closest you've got. Be sure to post your creations on your blog or online gallery and link them back to Mr Linky on the CTD blog. (Make sure you use your exact post address when linking!) Use the keyword "CTD38" if you use a gallery.

Copic Creations Challenge #2 - Jeans
Since today is the 15th, it means that it's time for another Copic Creations Blog Challenge! The challenge for this week is to color jeans! Marianne Walker has a great post on her I Like Markers blog for coloring jeans, and it was very helpful for me with coloring Daisybella's jeans here on my card!
Check out all the details for this challenge by visiting our Copic Creations blog, and see samples from all the designers (who will also show you that jeans don't always have to be blue!) You can also visit their blogs by clicking the links below!

The Copic Creations Challenge today is being sponsored by Kelley at Our Daily Bread Designs, and she has donated several of the beautiful Copic-coloring ready stamp set Path of Life for a few lucky (randomly chosen) participants! (I have this stamp set in stock at the store, and have fought the urge for awhile now to buy it myself... it's beautiful, but I'm trying to curb my spending!)
So, I hope you'll make time to join us in this challenge, too! Since there's blue in the Throwdown colors, why not try to combine these challenges and see what you can come up with!
Happy stamping, and thanks for stopping by!
