Big Wishes - Color Throwdown #692

~

Hi, everyone!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge and you're going to love this color palette - Lilac, Pink, White, and Gold.

~

~

How gorgeous!!

I adore those butterflies, and immediately pulled out my Rubbernecker Fluttering Butterflies dies, some ink, and some vellum.  And this is what I came up with...

~

~

I flicked gold all over the card and outlined each butterfly, as well as the water colored panel, in gold.

Lush Peonies - Color Throwdown #691

~

Hello there, folks!  This week our Color Throwdown colors are Mint Green, Watermelon, Light Yellow, and Blue.

~

~

I've wanted to use my new The Ton Lush Peonies stencils for a while and finally pulled them out this week.  They really worked well with these colors!

I actually cut the completed stenciled 6 x 6 panel in half and created 2 mini slimline cards for my stash.  

~

~

~

I used 2 blue Copic sketch markers to color in the blue background after the stenciling was complete.  I like the depth it adds.  The Picket Fence Fancy Daily sentiments and dies are perfect paired with the florals.

We would love for you to join in the challenge with us!  Here are links to all the great inspiration waiting for you from the design team:

Make a Wish - Color Throwdown #690

~

Hi, y'all!  It's time for our latest and greatest Color Throwdown challenge.  This week our colors are Navy, Mustard, and Gray.

~

~

I'm not going to lie, I struggled with this one.  I usually am more comfortable with bright colors or soft beachy colors, so these darker colors threw me for a loop.  After much contemplation, I came up with using an A Colorful Life Coiled stencil as a background for a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Bold Text #1 sentiment.

~

~

I'm satisfied with how it turned out, especially if you back way up and focus on the spiraling effect of the Coiled Stencil.

Now it's your turn to play along with us!  Be sure to visit with the DT members first for some awesome inspiration!

Big Balloons - Color Throwdown #689

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!

It's time for our latest Color Throwdown challenge and this week our colors are Orange, Pink, and Green.  Such a happy combo!

~

~

I wanted to go with a simple design this week and used my new-to-me MFT Big Balloon stencil and Essentials by Ellen Big Scripty Happy Birthday die for a very happy birthday card!

~

~

I die cut the stenciled top panel with my SSS Wonky Rectangle die, drew on the balloon strings, added a few sequins/jewels and called it done!

Now we're hoping you'll play along with us.  The details are on the CTD blog and beaucoup of inspiration can be found here:
