Love - Color Throwdown #578

~

Hello!  The latest Color Throwdown is now live!  We have a great love/Valentine combo to play with this week:  Red, Light Gray, Dark Gray, and White.

~

~

I made Valentine cards for my grandkids using an older Papertrey Ink set called Happy Hearts and the Hearts Cover Die.

~

~

I wanted to use only the cut out hearts for my cards so I used Press 'n Seal on the front of the panel after it had been run through the die cut machine and after I had replaced or removed some of the hearts.

~

~

I flipped it over and attached small pieces of foam mounting tape to the back of each of the hearts.

~

~

After removing the backing from each piece of tape, I attached the panel to my card front, removed the Press 'n Seal, then removed the white background, leaving only the hearts on the card front.  Pretty easy!

I hope you'll play along with us this week.  Check out all the details at the CTD blog, then be sure to check out all the inspiration from the design team:

Hugs Love Sunshine - Color Throwdown #577

~

Happy Wednesday, y'all!  It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown!  This week we have a really great color combo: Pink, Green, and Navy!

~

~

I needed a get well card for a certain sweet little girl and the adorable bear from the Essentials by Ellen All Inside stamp set is just perfect!

~

~

I used all of the large words in the set to create the dual-colored background and I water colored the bear and the heart before die cutting them.  The pink ribbon adds a bit more color and makes it a little more feminine!

We would love for you to join us for this challenge.  Check out all the details at the CTD blog and be sure to leave some love for all the designers:

Tropics Birthday Wishes - Color Throwdown #576

~

Hello there, everyone!  Happy Wednesday!! Are you ready for a new Color Throwdown challenge?  This week our generic colors are Navy, Teal, and Mustard.

~

~

I needed a birthday card for my almost 30 year old nephew, and botanicals are always a good bet for masculine cards.  I used a group of solid leaf stamps and a CAS design, which is also a good bet for masculine cards.

~

~

Pretty simple, but with a popping impact!

Now it's your turn to use these colors and enter your creation at the CTD blog.

Blessed to Have You in My Life - Color Throwdown #574

~

Happy New Year, everyone!!

It's time for the very first Color Throwdown challenge of 2020!  Amy Rohl is our hostess and here are the generic colors she's chosen for us to play with:  Red, Brown, and White.

~

~

I recently got the new Altenew Mega Blessings 4 stamp set along with the Mega Blessed die and thought they would pair beautifully with the brand new FREE Rose digital stamp from Power Poppy. This is a birthday card for someone very dear to me.

~

~

The rose is colored with multiple reds of Copic markers and the leaves/stems are shaded in browns.

We'd love for you to join in the challenge.  Please visit the CTD blog for details and visit with each of the designers for some great inspiration:
