Botanicals - Color Throwdown #711

~

Happy Wednesday!  Our Color Throwdown challenge this week features some beautiful deep color hues - Turquoise, Yellow, Brown, and Green.

~

~

I love the contrast of the bright yellow and the deep teal.  

Here's my card:

~

~

For my background I used a TCW stencil called Mini Ferns, blending green ink on the teal paper.  The flower and leaves are from a Sizzix die set called Corsage dies. The arch is from the Ellen Hutson Essential Arches die set, and the sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Tropics set. 

We hope you will play along with us in the challenge this week!  The details are on the CTD blog and here are links to all the great inspiration from the DT members:

Under the Sea - Color Throwdown #710

~

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our colors are Ivory, Kraft, and Aqua.

I love this color palette!  And I used it to make a beach related birthday card!  

~

I used several stencils and several inks and layered them over and over to achieve this look.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. All products that are still available are linked at the end of this post.

Fantasy Floral Hugs - Color Throwdown #708

~

Hey, folks! This week our Color Throwdown combo consists of Pink, Coral, Dark Purple, and Green.

~

~

I used all dies this week to make a birthday card for a sweet friend: Altenew Fantasy Floral die, Impression Obsession Birdcage die, and Spellbinders Simply Perfect Mix and Match sentiment dies.  And I love how they all came together!

~

~

I used an old Cuttlebug embossing folder called Leafy Branch, which I still love, for the background.

~

~

We sure would love for you to play along with us.  Get all the details and inspiration from the design team at the CTD blog.

WISH - Color Throwdown #707

~

Hello and happy Wednesday to you!

It's time for another Color Throwdown challenge and this week our colors are Mustard, Navy, and Turquoise. This is such a great combo!

~

~

I wasn't sure I was going to like it but I ended up loving it! Especially when I layered the colors side by side on the white card base.

~

~

And with the big glittery letters on top of them...man, everything really pops!

I loved it so much I made a second card too!

~

~

I am quite sure I'll be using this MFT Stamps big Wish die again and again in the future.

~

~

We hope to see you in the gallery this week!  Check out the details for the challenge at the CTD blog and look at all the wonderful inspiration for you here:
