Christmas Penguin - Color Throwdown #523

~

Happy Wednesday!  I’m hosting this week’s Color Throwdown and it will be our last one of this year.  I chose a classic Christmas color combo:  Red, Green, Kraft, and White.

~

~

I decided to use a mix of whimsical and elegant elements for my card:  Penguin stamp and die and Magic of the Season sentiment, all from Rubbernecker.

~

~

This is my design for this year’s grandkids Christmas cards.  One down, seven more to go!!

~

~

We’d love for you to play along!  You have the opportunity to become our first Featured Stamper of the week for 2019!  Please be sure to visit with each of the DT members to see their wonderful creations!

Layered Christmas Poppy - Color Throwdown #522

~

Happy Wednesday! It’s time for the latest Color Throwdown challenge!  Our fearless leader, Barbara, has a great combination that’s perfect for a Christmas card – Salmon, Red, Green, and Gray.

~

~

So that’s what I made – a Christmas card with an unconventional image!

~

~

I used Layered Poppy and the Most Wonderful sentiment from Rubbernecker Stamps for my card.  The Layered Poppy is a two-step stamp so it’s super easy to stamp.  I added a little bit darker red with a watercolor brush to the flowers, then splattered the red across the layer.  I thought the randomly placed red and green sequins added a more festive seasonal touch.

Now we would love to see what you create with this great palette!  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and see what all the designers have come up with here:

Snowy Church - Color Throwdown #521

~

Hey, y’all!  Can you believe there are only 4 weeks until Christmas??  I think I’d better start shopping!!

In the meantime, how about some more Christmas inspiration using the latest color palette from the Color Throwdown challenge?  Amy Rysavy is our hostess and here are the colors she’s chosen for us:  Silver, White, Black and Gray.

~

~

I love the monotone concept and decided it would work perfectly with this new digital image from Power Poppy – Snowy Church.  I also used the sentiment from the new Paperwhites and Juniper.

~

~

I used my Copic markers (from the C family) for the moonlit look and there is a lot of Star Dust Stickles on the moon and all the snowy surfaces.

~

~

Now it’s your turn to play along and add another Christmas card to your stash!  Check out all the DT inspiration here:

Deer Family Birthday - Color Throwdown #520

~

Good Wednesday morning!  It’s time for the latest and greatest Color Throwdown challenge.  Here are the generic values for this week’s colors:  Green, Kraft, Brown, and Cream.

~

~

I needed a couple of masculine birthday cards and the Deer Family Die Cut from Rubbernecker Stamps was perfect!  I used it along with the Watercolor Forest and a vertical sentiment from the Happy Birthday stamp set.

~

~

I die cut the deer from both brown and kraft cardstock and sponged the edges of the lighter colored deer with some brown ink.  For the background I smooshed 3 Distress inks (light blue, green, and brown) onto a flexible piece of acrylic and spritzed it with water.  I applied it to a piece of water color paper and allowed it to dry, then cut it in half so that I could make 2 cards.

~

    

~

I inked the Watercolor Forest stamp in green ink, spritzed it in water, stamped it over the green background area, and allowed it to dry.  I stamped the sentiment on a piece of kraft cardstock, and then I assembled all the elements onto the card base.

~

We would love for you all to play along with us this week.  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and be sure to visit with each of the designers to see their great inspiration pieces:
