Condolences - Color Throwdown #535

~

Happy Wednesday, y’all!  It’s time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge!  Jodi is our hostess and here is the great color palette she’s chosen:  Red, Yellow, Green, and White

~

~

Sadly, I need a sympathy card so I chose to use some lovely flowers with these colors. 

~

~

Florals are always a good choice for condolences.  The stamp set I used is a 4 part one from Rubbernecker called Wildflowers in the Wind.  So there is no coloring at all.  Each of the colors you see is a different stamp, and it’s easy to line up if you follow the video at the Rubbernecker website.

We would really love for you to play along with us this week!  The challenge details can be found at the CTD blog and please leave some love for each of the designers here:

Cupcake Kinda Day - Color Throwdown #534

~

Good Wednesday morning, everyone!  Today’s Color Throwdown challenge is brought to us by the oh-so-talented Amy Rohl.  Here are the generic colors:  Light Blue, Brown, and Orange.

~

~

I needed a masculine birthday card and the darling bear from the All Inside stamp set from the Essentials by Ellen stamp line is always a perfect choice for that.

~

~

I airbrushed a background and colored my bear with my Copic markers, then used a paper towel and some Colorless Blending Solution to make the bear “fluffy”!

This qualifies my card for the Addicted to CAS Challenge #154 – Fluffy:

Now it’s your turn to play along with the Color Throwdown challenge!  Please check out all the details at the CTD blog.  We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Sunny Vibes Tulip - Color Throwdown #533

~

Happy Wednesday, people!  I hope wherever you are it’s warm and sunny.  There’s a little bit of a chill here in the South and I am NOT a fan!

Moving right along, it’s time for a new Color Throwdown challenge and I’m hosting this week!  The generic colors I chose are Purple, Lavender, Gray, and Kraft.

~

~

Power Poppy recently released a couple of sets of new digital images.  They are based on the clear set Natural Beauties, and they are SO pretty.  I chose to use the tulip image from the Spring Border One set.  It was a little bit of a challenge with the limited color palette, but I really liked how it turned out.

~

~

The tulips were printed on Bristol smooth watercolor paper and water colored with my Zig Clean Color pens.  Then I die cut the image, covered it with a scrap of paper, and airbrushed around the edges with the die still on.

Now it’s your turn to join us and play along!  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and also check out what the talented design team has created for your inspiration.

Surfer Zeke - Color Throwdown #532

~

Hello and happy Wednesday!  Today our Color Throwdown challenge is hosted by Barbara and her inspiration photo and color combo are really beautiful!  The colors are Coral, Blue, Green, and Kraft.

~

~

I just had to use my favorite little surfer guy Zeke from Rubbernecker and create a beach scene with these great colors.

~

~

I used the “smooshing” method to create the water colored background to mimic the sky in the inspiration photo, with a sandy beach below.  Zeke was colored with my Copic markers.

Now it’s your turn to create something and share it with us at the CTD blog!  Also be sure to check out all the beautiful inspiration from the design team.
