S.W.A.K. – Color Throwdown 25
Do the young people now even know what that means? There used to be a song back in the “olden days” that was called “Sealed With a Kiss”, by Bobby Vinton. At least that’s the first one I remember. I just looked it up on Leo’s Lyrics (www.leoslyrics.com) and found a few more who sang a song with that exact title: Brian Hyland, Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Jason Donovan and Shelley Fabares. Can’t say that I remember them all though.
My card today is for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge, of course. My pal Tammy chose the colors this week and you may or may not be able to tell that I struggled a little bit with this combo. For some reason, I just wasn’t feeling the flow! Or maybe it was because I couldn’t find just the right patterned paper to suit me!
Anyway, here’s the card that I came up with:
I’m really digging these new curved rectangle Nestabilities! Well, at least they’re new to me! They worked perfectly to create this tent topper card (original design by Michelle Wooderson).
I colored my little dude (or dudette, if you so choose) with my trusty Copic markers today. You should head on over to the Rubbernecker website and check out all the cool Valentine and heart images they have, and most of them are on sale right now. They’ve got the best prices anywhere!!
We’d love for you to play along with the Color Throwdown challenge! Just upload your card to your blog or to your favorite online gallery (use keyword CTD25) and link it directly to today’s blog post on the Color Throwdown blog. Head over there now to get some inspiration from all the wonderful creations of the design team!
Thanks for stopping by today!
