The colors this week at Color Throwdown are so gorgeous I thought it would be easy peasy to put a card together. Not so, I was soon to discover. I picked the MOJO 240 sketch as my layout because it had lots of layers and I figured that was a good thing when working with such a diverse bunch of colors.
It took me quite a while to figure out how I wanted to use these colors, and to be honest I'm not entirely sure I like the result. But after putting so much time and thought into a card, it seems ridiculous to hide it away, so I've gone ahead and posted it anyway.
On my Elegant Eggplant card base I added some Pool Party cardstock and designer paper. Then I added a Certainly Celery circle with some Wintergreen DSP. (This is actually a winter-themed paper pack, but it's the only Certainly Celery DSP I own! And yes, I'm pretty sure those are snowflakes)!! I used a little poetic license with my pointy banner because although the base is Elegant Eggplant the DSP I used to layer over it is a bit of Concord Crush from Lap of Luxury. The two colors actually look pretty good together!
Thanks for stopping by!
