Color Throwdown #839

When I see this color combo, I normally reach for my Christmas supplies as it is a favorite for the holiday cards I make.  But, this time, I had something else in mind.  Take a look at the colors Vickie has chosen for us at Color Throwdown #839...


These sweet little cherries were too perfect to go with a holiday card...


BUT I did find that sweet diagonal aqua/red/white stripe among
the new Scrapbook.com papers I recently purchased!  Isn't it so sweet
with these darling Concord & 9th Cherry Sweet dies?  I added a debossed
scallop from Reverse Confetti - out of business - and popped those
sweet cherries up on a PTI Love to Layer: Delightful Bracket panel and tied my sentiment tag [The Greetery- Tear Strip Tags die] with red and white twine 
and my card is complete!

Thanks, Vickie - I LOve your color picks!

Yummy looking cherries. That stripe paper is a perfect background for them and the lovely shape they are on.

Ohhhh I ALMOST missed this sweet card! Love the paper (too cute!), pretty cherries and oh my that tag! Wow, Michele, glad I got to come back and catch it. My follow.it has been erroring when it's supposed to be sending me to the post, so then I have to search for the blog itself and somehow I landed on a newer one -- anyone else? Anywho, glad I found it!

This is just the sweetest! LOVE THE CHERRIES, AND YES, THE COLORS WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT FOR CHRISTMAS, BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER! Sorry, didn't mean to yell. Caps lock!

This is just as cute as it can be! Love all of the sweet layers to bits!

Leslie Miller said...

Those are the most darling cherries, especially in these colors! Those bitty flowers are so cute! What a great die set. Brilliant with the Christmas stripe paper which doesn't look like Christmas at all. So happy!

So CHERRY sweet! And the diagonal lines on that PP was meant to be. Seriously serendipitous!

I'm not sure if there is a better card for those colors. The cherries are amazing.
