It’s Time……for the first ever Color Throwdown challenge!!
Are you ready!??! I’m so excited to be a part of this new venture. I just love a good challenge! Here are links to the ladies who will also be posting~
Please be sure to visit their blogs and please play along with us. Here is a link to the Color Throwdown Blog where you can link your challenge card and see all the designers’ cards. If you decide to play, and you upload your card to Splitcoast, please use keyword CTD1 so we can check them all out.
And here is the color combination that LeAnne chose for us to play with today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a beautiful color combination! My first thought went to flowers, but then immediately I thought of pistachio ice cream. You can ask Sherry how much I love desserts!! So that’s what I went with. This is my cherry pistachio ice cream cone.
It’s stamped on shimmery vanilla cardstock with Palette Hybrid Burnt Umber and colored with Stampin’ Up! markers. I haven’t tried that in a while, as I’m mostly hooked on my Copics now, but I wanted to be able to match the colors correctly. (As always, you can click on the photo to see a larger image.)
The ice cream cone is one of the Rubbernecker cherry desserts in the Sweets section. Yum! I know you can’t see it in the photo, but I dry embossed the cone part by outlining it and tracing the cross section lines on the back of the image. So IRL it has such great texture and depth! I used My Mind’s Eye paper – sweet! – and my long rectangle Nestabilities too. That’s it! Wrapped in ribbon and ric rac, it’s ready to be sent to a dear friend as a thank-you card.
Thanks for visiting! I certainly hope you’ll visit the Color Throwdown Blog and join in the challenges with us! Until next time~

Fabulous card, Broni! I love the coloring on the ice cream and cone! And the cone must look so neat IRL with the dry embossing! What a great idea!
It’s fun to be working with you on these challenges!
What a sweet card! I thought about getting this stamp yesterday, and NOW I see I NEED IT!!! LOL! There is always next time… ;0)
Gorgeous Broni! Great color combo…I’m going to check out the blog! Thanks!
Broni, your card is so cute! Looks yummy! Never had pistachio ice cream but I love pistachios so might have to try it. For something different, I like coffee ice cream, but ya gotta like coffee. LOL I love the colors that were chosen for your 1st throwdown!
Beautiful colors and card Broni! What a fun challenge!
This is yummy-licious! What a great card!

This is so… sweet- teeheehee! Seriously I love this pretty card! Your coloring is beautiful- as always! I just uploaded my challenge card to SCS. Unfortunately, we have had a dark and dreary day and the colors did not come out near as pretty as they are IRL!
