All the Days of My Life - Color Throwdown

ctd 251 verve diva dare

It's time for another fabulous Color Throwdown challenge, CTD #251!  That adorable fushia teapot jumped out at me and I had to add a splash of pink!

Thanks to all of you who participated in last week's 5-year celebration of the Color Throwdown!  There were so many gorgeous submissions to the challenge:)


I had to flash some VERVE as I worked with the Viva la Verve Sketch Challenge for July Week 2 and the July Diva Dare Challenge:  Tattered Pages.  I think my big flower and leaves works for the Nature Walk Challenge over at Paper Issues, too!


I added some white heat embossing on the flowers, leaves and sentiment to make them pop from the colored patterns!  There is a touch of distressing around the aqua panel, some ribbon, twine, buttons...all things lovely for these wonderful challenges!
