Fall Leaves - Color Throwdown #216

~

~

Hi there!  It's time for this week's edition of the Color Throwdown challenge!  Kerri is our hostess and she picked a really cool combo and inspiration photo for us:

At first I couldn't decide what to do with the combo, but once I chose to make some pumpkin-colored leaves, everything kind of fell into place.

I stamped my leaves from the Our Craft Lounge Simply Fall set onto a piece of white cardstock and scribbled on them with some Copic markers, then cut them out.

My kraft card base was a 3.5" wide scrap that I folded in half and since it was so narrow it allowed me to let a few elements hang off the edge of the base.  I loved last week's Freshly Made Sketches #58, so that was my inspiration for this layout.

The zig zags from the Every Heartbeat stamp set were stamped in SU's night of navy ink onto the kraft and all the ribbons are either adhered or stapled with the tiny attacher onto the card base.

The leaves are adhered to a rosette made with the Sizzix Paper Rosette die.

We certainly hope you'll join us in this week's Color Throwdown challenge!  It's simple!  You can find all the details on the CTD blog, and also please be sure to browse through all the wonderful inspiration projects of the design team:
