Wishing You Happiness - Color Throwdown #666

~

Hello!!  It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge, y'all!  This week our colors are Orange, Brown, and Kraft!  Truly a fall color palette!

~

~

I decided to go with a wreath in these colors this week.  I used the Etched Eucalyptus Wreath die from Simon Says Stamp and ink blended one, then die cut the other from some patterned paper.  The background is lightly stenciled using the Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set 21.

Now it's time for you to play along.  The details for the challenge are on the CTD blog and you can check out all the designers' inspiration too!

You Are A Warrior - Color Throwdown 665

~

It's Wednesday again, y'all!  And time for the newest Color Throwdown challenge.  Our colors are Pink, Lavender, and Aqua.

~

~

I wanted to make a card for my granddaughter who is playing on her very first softball team this year, and they have made it to the playoffs!  I'll be traveling to see one of the games tomorrow!  So excited!

~

~

Is that not the cutest lion?  If you look closely there are positive adjectives hidden in his mane.  I love the encouraging message of this card.  Inside it says "I.can.I.will" and "there's nothing more perfect than doing your best".  I love it, and I hope she does too!

Please join us for the challenge this week!  All the details are on the blog and you can see all the beautiful creations from the design team too.

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!
