Color Throwdown Wednesday With Purple Onion Designs

It's a very special Color Throwdown Wednesday!!! We're sponsored today by a really neat stamp company called Purple Onion Designs! Michele, the owner of Purple Onion Designs is planning a prize valued up to $50 to one lucky winner!! Most of our design team will be featuring products exclusively available from Purple Onion Designs today. I will be showing you a card using the Coffee & Tea Set, but before I do, let's talk colors! Danielle is our hostess this week and has chosen a fun group of colors for us to play with. Have a look... Using the Coffee and Tea Set from Purple Onion Designs, here's what I created: This stamp set is SO fun! I can't believe I went this long without having it in my collection. Not only are the designs SO cutely drawn but the FONT in the stamp set it so right up my alley and is loaded with really fun, coffee and tea themed sayings. I had an entirely different layout when I first started creating and then somehow I ended up with March's SFYTT AGAIN! I love the background paper I stamped using my three favorite coffee cups from the set! The Offbeat Collection from Basic grey also worked wonders for this design. You like? Come play along! Don't forget about the awesome prize! Head on over to the Color Throwdown blog to read up on all the details for participating and make sure to stop by and check out the Purple Onion Designs store. I was really impressed with their vast selection of Vintage themed images as well. You won't want to miss them! Of course, don't forget to stop by the blogs of my fellow design team members for loads more inspiration using this weeks colors and Purple Onion Designs! Enjoy!
