Exciting News!

Hello there, crafty friends!  I've got some exciting news to share, I was asked by the talented ladies of The Color Throwdown if I would like to come back as a Color Throwdown Designer, and of course I said yes.  I was a CTD design team member a few years ago (from 2011-2013) but ended up stepping down because of work and demands at home, but now I'm so happy to be able to join team again.  
The Color Throwdown team is starting the new year with a fresh new look and few new members so be sure to stop by and check it out and join in the fun!

Our pretty colors and inspiration photo for our first Color Throwdown of 2016 was chosen by our team mate Broni.

For my card, I used the fun and quirky My Favorite Things stamp set Cat-itude along with the coordinating Die-namics.  I started out with a white card base, then added a panel of aqua mist which I had embossed the lower half with polka dots.  Then I added a strip of orange polka dot paper from my stash along with a vertical piece of white card stock which I punched at one end using a Martha Stewart border punch.  Next I die cut and colored the adorable cats using Copic markers and added them to my card front with foam adhesive.  Underneath the cats I added my sentiment banner and as a final detail I added a few orange sequins.
