Birthday Bird Wishes - Color Throwdown #552

Hey, y'all!

Well, I survived my birthday weekend!  I had a blast celebrating with wonderful friends - we danced a lot and listened to the best music on the Grand Strand!!  Thanks to everyone who helped me celebrate!

And now....it's time for the latest Color Throwdown.  Barbara is our hostess and here is her great color combo using these generic colors: Gray, Pink, White, and Silver.

~

~

I love the texture on that cake, so I decided to use my Pine Needles embossing folder for my main layer.  

~

~

But the star here is the pink Bird with Feathers from Rubbernecker Stamps. Isn't she the cutest?  Another star is the Wishes die.

Sh*t Could Be Worse - Color Throwdown #551

~

Hello, everyone!  It's Wednesday and time for a brand new Color Throwdown challenge! Amy Rysavy is our hostess this week and the colors she's chosen for us are Pink, Gold, Black, and White.

~

~

This is really a beautiful palette.  Since the inspiration photo is fairly CAS I decided to go with that for my card.  I used my new Essentials by Ellen set called Voices in My Head.  It is SO much fun!

~

~

See how simple!?  I stamped the image and sentiment and cut it out with my Rubbernecker Nested Oval Stitch die.  I lightly colored her face with a Copic marker and outlined the oval along the stitch line with a gold metallic pen.  Then I added some washi tape to the card front and popped on the oval.  Done!

We would love to see how you use these colors in your paper crafted creation.  Link it up at the CTD blog.  And please check out more inspiration from our design team here:

Smile! - Color Throwdown #550

What a great summer combo!

July is a month full of birthdays of friends and family for me.  So here is one of the masculine cards I needed this month using the MFT Picture Perfect stamp set (yes, again!)  I thought this little guy was perfect!

~

~

I also had a helper (or maybe a camera hog) while taking the pictures of the card.

Little Miss Sunshine likes to be the center of attention!

Sending Smooches - Color Throwdown #549

~

Hello, y'all!

It's Wednesday again so let's see what our Color Throwdown challenge combo is for this week:  Blue, Orange, Gray.

~

~

That really is a great color palette!

I needed a birthday card for a friend, so I pulled out my new (to me) Picture Perfect set from My Favorite Things.  The images are SO cute, and so quick and easy to color!

~

~

The sentiment is from another MFT set in collaboration with Ellen Hutson LLC called Good Friends.

Now it's your turn to make a paper creation using our colors of the week.  Then just post it over at the CTD blog.  But first be sure to visit with all of our wonderful designers:

For my card I used new-to-me Rubbernecker Stamps for a cool beach scene.

Happy Birthday Wishes - Color Throwdown #543

~

Good Wednesday morning!  I'm hosting the Color Throwdown this week and the colors I've chosen are Aqua, Green, and Gray.

~

~

I used these colors to make a birthday card for my teenage grandson.

~

~

I used Rubbernecker Group of Cats and die cut it and the larger mat with Nested Oval Stitch dies.  The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday stamp set and the Wishes die, which I layered 3 times.  The cat with the cute expression is the only one I chose to color with my Copic markers.

~
