Color Throwdown 575 GD!

Hello Stamplings!

How are you doing? I hope the new year is starting off on the right foot for you. (You know someone reading this prolly broke their ankle on New Year's Day, right? Isn't that just the way? I'm so sorry if that happened to you.) 

The expression comes from a literal meaning that one should start off on the right foot because starting on the left foot is considered unlucky. History doesn't indicate how many people fall flat on their faces trying to catch themselves after they start off on their left foots, nor the cost involved in the resultant dental surgery.

To avoid all that, I'm staying in today where things are very rosy. I'm pickled tink to share that thanks to a recent win, I am this week's Guest Star Stamper over at the Color Throwdown challenge! If you aren't familiar with this fun color challenge, I hope you'll check it out! 

Here is my card to inspire you:
From the angle below, you can see the glimmer of the gold-embossed sediment. It's long been a favorite of mine and a good one to recall at the start of a new year. Or every morning.
The cattail die is from Memory Box, called "Golden Cattails." I watercolored it with my Ziggies. Simples.

Here are the beautiful colors for the current Color Throwdown challenge:

The colors are kraft, gold, green, and white. The possibilities are endless, and I can't wait to see what you create! The challenge is open until Monday, January 13, 2020.

I'm linking my card to:

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*
