Color Throwdown #525

It's my second week in a row playing at Color Throwdown. 

I love the rustic look in the photo.  It's my kind of decorating but I strayed away from it a little with my card while still using the colors.

I pulled out this ancient houndstooth paper for my background and added the jar from Clearly Besotted, the flowers from Catherine Pooler and the sentiment from Happy Little Stampers.  I may get this color challenge thing down if I keep this up. ;)

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your week is off to a great start.

Just Us Girls #413 - Wild Card Week

When there are 5 Saturdays in a month, Just Us Girls' last challenge is our Wild Card Week and the host can choose whatever she likes.  Nancy is asking for word die cuts.

I figured if one die cut word was good, more would be better.

I made a sentiment covered PTI Tipped Top panel using a die from Elizabeth Crafts.  Without removing one of the cuts, I inked it up sort of ombre' style with Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink.  I placed it on my panel first and then glued the rest of the cuts around it.  The background is MFT's Houndstooth stamped in the same ink.  A little time consuming but a great masculine card I think.

This should be an easy challenge for you.  We all have word dies and you don't have to go overboard like I did.  I hope we have a ton of entries this week.
