Color Throwdown Challenge 97

This week's Color Throwdown challenge calls for the colors certainly celery, not quite navy, and cameo coral, or colors close to them. For this challenge I pulled out my Creative Inspiration paints in sapphire, mango, and sage. The stamps are from the Artistic Outpost set, Route 66. The embossing folder is from the Tim Holtz Alterations line and is highlighted with bundled sage distress ink. The cactus was stamped on grungepaper and cut out and popped a little. The challenge colors called for a retro image and this seemed to fit well. Ah, it brings back memories.
