Stay Cool - Color Throwdown #694

~

Hey, y'all!

It's time for another great Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our colors are Black, Red, Aqua, and Yellow.

~

~

This is such a great combo, but I waited until the last minute to get a card done so it's a simple one, folks!

~

~

I actually wanted to make a CAS card because I was so totally impressed by Hannelie's perfect example HERE.

I did mine on watercolor paper to soften the colors and make them appear more water-like.  I used the Organic Elements and Stay Cool stamp sets from Ellen Hutson LLC.

We hope you will play along with us!  Check out all the inspiration from our fabulous designers here:

Birthday Rainbow - Color Throwdown #693

~

Hi there, y'all!  I'm hosting this week's Color Throwdown challenge and I'm excited to share my card with you today.  Here are the colors I've chosen - Aqua, Lime Green, and Navy.

~

~

I'm excited to show you my card because for the first time in a long time I made a mixed media card, using both acrylic paints and dye ink.

~

~

It was really fairly simple, and so much fun! 

First I stenciled the rainbow using a screenprint stencil from Hobby Lobby with the acrylic paints and Distress ink (links in supply list at the bottom of this post).

~

~

Next I die cut the Bold Text #1 sentiment from 3 different colors of cardstock and layered them.

~

~

After separating the text die cuts and attaching them to the front and inside of the card, I added star dust stickles to them.

~

~

 

~

Now I hope you will play along with us!  Use these colors to create a papercrafting project and post it to today's CTD blog post.

Here's some super creative inspiration for you:

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:
