Happy Birthday, Color Throwdown!!
Happy 5th Birthday, Color Throwdown!

For my project, I opted to try something ‘other than’ a card. Then I realized that I haven’t played with my Sizzix eClips in a while, and the rest was simply a matter of deciding my color order and selecting stamps, etc.
Color Throwdown’s cyber birthday party seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out a new-to-me SVG file. 
Originally I toyed with the idea of using no stamps at all, but it’s been such a long, long time since I’ve used one of my old favorite backgrounds that I just indulged myself and brought out my SU Linen stamp to add the look of some subtle to my purse. Flower layers were cut with a Sizzix sizzlet and my trusty Big Shot.
