For this Color Throwdown prompt, I was really happy to find all of the colors in my extensive-but-rarely-used stash of cardstock. I chose a 5x5 design, which worked perfectly with the tall floral dies in the Tim Holtz Sizzix Thinlets. How to include dark shades I almost never use: cut the flowers in the dark green and the cream and then layer them so the green is a shadow. (That was a tricky proposition with the detail of the flowers.) I added texture by dry-embossing the front of the card and the brown trim at the base. The dark green worked well for the sentiment die.

Evelyn, this looks fantastic with the dark green under the flowers to set them off as well as give them more body. The brown at the base provides a good anchor, and I'm really enjoying seeing your embossing folders coming out to play!
