You Are the Best - Color Throwdown #664

~

Hi there!  It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our colors are Turquoise, Kraft, Brown, and White.

~

~

I LOVE that inspiration photo!  So I decided to replicate it as closely as I could. 

~

~

I used the SSS Paper Layering Circle dies to create the circular effect and outlined each one using a brown Copic marker.  Patterned paper worked for the background and I added 2 tiny acorns too!

Please play along with us!  All details are at the CTD blog, as well as links to our outstandingly talented designers!

Hip Hip Hooray - Color Throwdown #663

~

Happy Wednesday!  I'm hosting this week's Color Throwdown challenge and the colors I've chosen for us to play with are Orange, Brown, and Gray.

~

~

This is a pretty subdued color combo, but you can jazz it up by increasing the brightness of any of the colors.  I used some brighter orange tones in my card.

~

~

I used the Organic Elements stamp set from Ellen Hutson LLC and created a leaf by water coloring directly onto each stamp, and applying the stamp to the paper. Then I used my glass pen dipped in the gathered twigs color to outline the leaf parts and to add veining.

I water colored the background with a light gray and splattered all the colors onto the panel.  The sentiment from the It's All Good stamp set, also from Ellen Hutson LLC, was stamped in gathered twigs too.

Now it's your turn to play along.  Head on over to the CTD blog for all the details and links to all the luscious inspiration from the design team members!

Happy Day! - Color Throwdown #662

~

Hi, everyone!  This week our Color Throwdown colors are Purple, Orange, Green, and Kraft.

~

~

I decided to make a sweet birthday card for a sweet friend using the awesome Happy Day stamp set by Anita Jeram from Colorado Craft Company.

~

~

After I colored the images with Copic markers, I masked them and air brushed the purple background.  I really love this adorable, cuddly, gentle bear!

Stay Golden - Color Throwdown #661

~

Hello!!  Wednesday has already rolled around again. It snuck up on me this week! 

Our Color Throwdown color combo this week is very elegant and subdued: Black, Gray, Cream, and Kraft.

~

~

Quite lovely, isn't it?

I decided to go with the elegant feel and make a birthday card for my sister.  I added several touches of gold as well.  It's my neutral!

~

~

I used the Mondo Peony and Stay Cool stamp sets from Ellen Hutson LLC, along with the Essential Arches die.  I love how it turned out!

~

~

It's your turn now to come up with a papercrafting creation using these colors!  See you over at the CTD blog!!
