So, I follow A LOT of blogs that inspire me via google reader. If you follow a lot of blogs and are tired of going into each individual blog every day to see if there are any new updates, then google reader is definitely for you! It will let you know when your blogs have update all on one page! Anyway, one of the blogs I follow is Jen Tapler. She participated in a Color Throwdown challenge . I liked the colors so I thought I would play along! The colors they chose were:
You don’t have to have their brand ink to play along. They are kind enough to open it up to everyone. They just ask that you use similar colors to their pallette. Since all my ink is Papertrey Ink, I chose: Dark Chocolate, Plum Pudding and Ripe Avacado. Here is my creation:
Supplies:
Stamp: Fruitful, Vintage Picnic Sentiments
Ink: Papertrey Ink Dark Chocolate, Ripe Acocodo, Plum Pudding,
Paper: Papertrey Ink Spring Moss Bitty Dot Paper
Other: Cuttlebug Divine Swirl Embossing Folder, PTI Dark Chocolate Twill Ribbon

Hi Laurel, very pretty card! We just use the SU colors as a guideline since they are most common to everyone-but any brand that works with similar colors is perfect! I mix them all the time (I love PTI products!). Thanks so much for playing the CTD!
Well, your colors work just perfectly for this challenge! I’m so glad you decided to play along with us this week. Hope you’ll come back!!
Great card Laurel! Love the knot! 😉 And it’s awesome that I can enlarge the card now. Perfect!
Glad you found the Throwdown through Jen, and played along with your pretty card! Hope to see you again!
Pretty card!
