Chillin’ & Grillin’ – Color Throwdown #52
~
Woo hoo! It’s time for the 52nd edition of the Color Throwdown challenge! I can’t believe we’ve been doing this for a year already! Fun, fun, fun!
Here are this week’s colors as chosen by the fabulously talented Ms. Barbara:

This week our sponsor is Clear & Simple Stamps! Talk about some cute stamps! I really love that there are several sentiments and accessories with each stamp set. The set I’m using today is BBQ Darling. Absolutely perfect for a fun summer card! Come to think of it….it’s not just for summer! I have quite a few friends who grill out and make huge productions of it before each Carolina Panthers football game. They’re tailgating maniacs! This would work perfectly for them as well!

You may not believe this, but I had NO patterned paper with this week’s colors in it. Gasp! I know!! So I ended up making my own using my Copic markers and a straight edge ruler. And I actually had fun doing it! I used the chisel edge end of the marker – the broad side for the lavender lines and the narrow tip for the green and brown lines.
Now, we’d love for you to play along with us! There are prizes involved!! Check out all the details at the Color Throwdown blog. And for more inspiration, visit the design team’s blogs:

Perfect coloring! I love how the plaid paper (which is brilliant I might add!) echoes her bbq apron! Wonderful card!
