Chill Vibes - Color Throwdown #712

~

Hello, all!  This week's Color Throwdown challenge is to use these colors:   Blue, Orange, Kraft, and Cream.

~

~

I needed a birthday card for a pretty cool young man and I thought these colors would work well.

~

~

I did a bit of ink blending on the background with Distress inks, then used the SSS Layered Confetti stencils for a Bokeh effect, also using Distress inks and a bit of Hero Arts Unicorn white pigment ink.

~

~

I used the Essentials by Ellen Stay Cool stamp set for the "sand" and "waves" effect as well as for the sentiment.  There is also a bit of Ranger Glossy Accents on some of the waves.

We hope you will play along with us this week.  Head on over to the CTD blog for all the rules to play and for some great inspiration from the design team:

Botanicals - Color Throwdown #711

~

Happy Wednesday!  Our Color Throwdown challenge this week features some beautiful deep color hues - Turquoise, Yellow, Brown, and Green.

~

~

I love the contrast of the bright yellow and the deep teal.  

Here's my card:

~

~

For my background I used a TCW stencil called Mini Ferns, blending green ink on the teal paper.  The flower and leaves are from a Sizzix die set called Corsage dies. The arch is from the Ellen Hutson Essential Arches die set, and the sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink Tropics set. 

We hope you will play along with us in the challenge this week!  The details are on the CTD blog and here are links to all the great inspiration from the DT members:

Under the Sea - Color Throwdown #710

~

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for a new Color Throwdown challenge!  This week our colors are Ivory, Kraft, and Aqua.

~

~

I love this color palette!  And I used it to make a beach related birthday card!  

~

~

I used several stencils and several inks and layered them over and over to achieve this look.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. All products that are still available are linked at the end of this post.

We would love for you to play along with us this week!  Check out the details at the CTD blog and check out all the awesome inspiration from the DT members here:
