Hey Boo - Color Throwdown #716

~

Happy Halloween!  Almost!  I'm celebrating today with the cards I created for my grandkids for this week's Color Throwdown challenge.  Our color combo is Purple, Blush, and Sage Green.  Perfect colors for Halloween!

~

~

So I recently purchased the Hey Boo die set from Ellen Hutson LLC specifically for this year's cards.  And of course the all around perfect bear from the All Inside stamp set had to be the star!  Well, at least his ghost did!

~

~

There was a lot of detailed work involved in creating these cards, but it sure was fun!  The bear was stamped on vellum, then that was flipped to the back side so that the outline was more faded (ghost-like).  The heart he's holding actually hides the foam mounting tape that pops him up so he kind of looks like he's floating in the air.  The sentiment was pieced using each of the challenge colors and it was popped up too.

Each one of the 4 cards a a bit different.

Can you see the glittery stars in the sky?

Please join us this week for the challenge!  The details are HERE, and this is where you can get some fabulous inspiration!

Scenic Route - Color Throwdown #715

~

Happy Wednesday again!  Today is the day for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  Our color palette this week is all about Fall - Orange, Green, and White.

~

 

~

I went with the Fall theme and pulled out an older Rubbernecker die set for my card.  I don't believe this set is available any more but I've linked a newer set below in the linky list that is even better!!  I've paired it with a beautiful Sizzix 3D Botanical embossed background for added texture.

Here is my card:

~

~

I also added some "bubbles" from Trinity Stamps for a little bling!

We really hope you'll play along with us this week!

PEACE - Color Throwdown #714

~

Hey, y'all!  It's time for the latest Color Throwdown challenge and this week our colors are Navy, Mustard, and Brown.

~

~

I just purchased some of the latest Tim Holtz - Sizzix holiday collection dies and thought the Christmas Cutouts would work beautifully with these colors.  Here's my very first Christmas card for this season:

~

~

I really thought the background water in the inspiration photo looked like a galaxy, so that's what inspired my background!  I used a couple of the Ranger Distress Mica sprays to create it.

~

~

~

I painted the moon and stars with some metallic gold paint.  There is so much shine!  I love it!

Now it's your turn to create using these colors!  Post your link on the CTD blog, but first visit with the DT members to get some awesome inspiration!

Happy Day - Color Throwdown #713

~

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for another new Color Throwdown challenge, and I'm hosting this week!  I've chosen Pink, Burgundy, Green, and Cream as our color combo!

~

~

I thought a pretty floral card was in order using this beautiful palette, so I decided to use the Simon Says Stamp Alstroemeria stem die for the focal point.  Alstroemeria has been one of my favorite flowers for as long as I can remember!

~

~

I also used a stem of the SSS Etched Laurel Leaves die as a "filler" behind my stem.  And how beautiful is that Sizzix 3-D Honeycomb embossed background??!  I love it!

We would love for you to play along this week!  All the details can be found on the CTD blog and please check out the beautiful inspiration for you from the DT members:
