Throwing it down x2

I love the current colours for the Color Throwdown but had a heck of a time building a card with them.  I ended up doing two... and truthfully I am happier with the second one.  However, I'll share both with you... any preference?

I do need to work on my blending... and I need more round sponges.  I haven't been doing this technique as much as I should.... *note to self*.

Hope you're having a great week and thanks for stopping by.

Playing with colour

I love bright colours and Color Throwdown has a bright & cheerful colour combination this week.  Kept it pretty CAS with this card.  Really like how this turned out.  May have to play around with this layout using some different colour combinations.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend.
