I am so happy to be a guest designer for The Color Throwdown this week! The colors this week are bright and fun, and seemed perfect for the graphic look that I had been wanting to experiment with.
The shapes are all cut with the Avery Elle dies, and then I moved them around till I found a pleasing arrangement, adhered them, die cut the "hello" from basic gray (stacked 3 on top of each other for more dimension), and added enamel dots. Easy peasy, but still catches the eye, I think.

Now that's one "hello" die I don't have, but love!! Love the way you used the colors in your card design, Maura - and those Avery Elle dies! Congrats on your GDT spot at the Color Throwdown.
