CTD270 - Celebrate

Thanks for stopping by for Color Throwdown 270! This week is Wanda's turn to host the challenge. For inspiration she chose this pretty, elegant scene. I love the green mixed with the neutral colors. 



I used the color challenge to create this 12 x 12 scrapbook page. The photo is of my husband and youngest daughter from an event in freshman year of college. 


The patterned paper is from Prima and then I used the MPD Graduated Diamonds Stencil to add the diamond pattern to the background. I used a sponge and Black Licorice Ink.


Celebrate is added with the LLD Accent It - Celebrate Die-namics. 


The flower is created with the Hybrid Camellia Flower Die-namics and the leaves with the Layered Leaves Die-namics. Then I added some paper roses and silk leaves from my stash. I used the Large Fancy Flourish Die-namics to add the silver swirls.

The sentiment is from the Journal It - Library Card Stamp Set. I thought it was perfect for the photo because when our youngest went off college it started a new chapter for her and us!

Hope you have a chance to play along!
