Ready for Winter – Color Throwdown #70
We have some gorgeous fall colors for you this week brought together into the Color Throwdown challenge by our super-duper talented Ms. Barbara. Don’t you love them?
For my card, I chose to use this new image I got from Just For Fun Rubber Stamps. It’s called Ready for Winter and I just love the vintage look of this sweet little lady in her winter coat. I wonder what she’s waiting for? A train, a bus? Hmmm. Anyway, I decided to watercolor her, since I haven’t done that in FOREVER!!
Please join us in this week’s challenge! You can find all the details on the Color Throwdown blog and then check out all the cool creations of the design team here:
