Color Throwdown

There She Goes is sponsoring this week's Color Throwdown! I couldn't resist and had to play along! I used the new Birdie Wishes set and made a Christmas card. The sentiment is also from this set and I used my marker to ink just the merry Christmas part. Pretty straight forward but please ask if you have any questions! To play along with us, link your project to the Color Throwdown blog for a chance to win a TSG set of your choice!
Last night we attended my daughter's holiday orchestra concert. They did such a nice job and have improved so much in 2 years! Tonight I'm off to dinner with my book club. So much to do and so little time (only 8 more days until Christmas Eve!) YIKES!!
"Birdie Christmas"
stamps: Birdie Wishes (TSG)
ink: real red, chocolate chip, always artichoke, kiwi kiss, cool caribbean (SU!)
paper: always artichoke, very vanilla, cool caribbean (SU!); DP by K&Co
accessories: labels 9 nestabilities (Spellbinders); ribbon (Michael's)

So I see we have several things in common! We both used the same stamp set (love it!), a red ribbon, and polka dots! AND my daughter's name is Gretchen! Cool! Thanks so much for playing along in the Color Throwdown with us!!
