A Relaxed Color Throwdown...






Whenever I see the word "Relax" my first thoughts are always "Frankie Goes to Hollywood" and the image that springs to mind is an old t-shirt I used to own (way back last century LOL) emblazoned with "Relax" in hot pink flouro letters - I thought I'd tone it down a bit for my card!

Inspired by the Casology Cue Card Relax, and these gorgeous gelato colours from Colour Throwdown, my card was originally designed as portrait, but I quite like it as landscape too :)  The die-cut alphabet is My Favourite Things and the butterfly is Spellbinders.  Papers are a mix of We R Memory Keepers and Fancy Pants, with American Crafts Amy Tangerine paisley motif.

Hope you had a RELAXing weekend - and a FAB Aussie Father's Day too!
