Color Throwdown # 257

Well, I made two cards because I wasn't sure if I liked the first one, and now I am not sure I really like the second one either.  My father raised "mums" which is what this set is called"  Mum's the Word from PTI.  I really don't think mums are pink, or at least not a hot pink, but in the world of card making, I think anything goes, right?  But the colors did bother me a bit...so I tried making a second card:

So this one has the colors of mum that is more true, (except maybe that little one that has a bit of pink...do you see it over on the side?  Oh well, the challenge was to use these colors:

Color Throwdown ~ Fifth Anniversary Celebration

Awesome colors for this special anniversary celebration going on over at Color Throwdown ~ check it out!

I used a Hero Arts summer stamp set and colored in the ball and the fish with copics.  Isn't that fish so cute?  He is jumping out of the water to pop the ball back to the shore!!
                                                                             
I used hawaiian shores ink for the "waves", and copics to represent all those colors above.  I am thinking a couple more Happy Summer cards will be made to sent out to my three aunts in July...oh, one has a 94 birthday coming up...I better get on it!

                                                                                    Want to play along with the Color Throwdown Challenge?  Go HERE to access the blog and play along.  here is my card for this challenge.

 I used an old Papertrey Ink stamp set called Flower Garden...I stamped it on white paper, sewed around the edges, then mounted it on the lemon tart Bitty Box Pattern Paper.  I stamped some melon berry polka dots from Background Basics:  Polka Dot II.  I added a little dashed line with a jelly roll pen on the yellow band strip.  The sentiment is from a Hero Arts sentiment set.  I can see that I didn't line up the polka dots all that well...that is one thing that I always struggle with!  Sorry about that...

My PTI colors are:  berry sorbet, melon berry, spring moss, lemon tart and white!
