The Queen's Scene: Celebrate Today

Hi there, crafty friends! There's a new Color Throwdown Challenge starting today!

The card I have for today uses the new Papertrey Ink Color Pop stamp set and dies. I used this week's Retro Sketches Challenge #207 for my layout and I used the colors tropical teal, hawaiian shores, aqua mist, metallic gold (which does not photograph well at all) and a bit of limeade ice for my leaves. I started out with a stitched die cut tropical teal panel for my background, then added a strip of designer paper from my stash adding a thin strip of gold metallic paper along the edge. After that I adhered a horizontal strip of hawaiian shores and then adhered a piece of white card stock matted in tropical teal using foam tape. Then after die cutting and stamping the flowers and leaves from the Color Pop set I arranged and adhered them on my white panel. Once all of my flowers were in place, I die cut my sentiment from gold metallic paper and one from craft foam and glued them together. After my sentiment was dry, I added it over top of my flowers and adhered three gold sequins.
