Color Throwdown #822

I happy to announce that I am designing at Color Throwdown this week.  I won their #820 challenge with this card and they invited me to be their guest.  Here are the colors for this week.


This was a no-brainer for me.


I absolutely love this large poinsettia from Alex Syberia.  It comes with stencils that make it easy to color and I used Distress Inks in Lumberjack Plaid, Barn Door, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.  The Barn Door faded back more than I would have liked and as you can see I didn't use the second layer of stencils but added shadows on my own.  It was stamped on GinaK Ivory and partially die cut along the side.  The sentiment from SSS was cut from black foil from C9.

Whether you do a Christmas card or these colors spark a different idea, we hope you will join us in this challenge.  There is wonderful inspiration for you from the Design Team on the blog.

This is simply stunning. That beautiful red poinsettia stands on its own, and I love how you have cut the edge. Really GORGEOUS!!!

Wow, it is gorgeous. I love this big poinsettia stamp & die set. You colored it beautifully. That is the first thing I thought of when I saw the colors, was a poinsettia. :)
