Color Throwdown 264-Cloudy Without You


It’s time for another Color Throwdown! Broni is our hostess this week and she’s challenged us to use Night of Navy, Calypso Coral, Silver, and Pool Party in our designs.

My card is based on the current sketch from Retro Sketches. I built a simple scene on a piece of patterned paper using silver die cut clouds and a coral die cut sun. The ‘it’s cloudy without you” sentiment from the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Weather Through stamp set is stamped at the bottom of the panel in navy ink. I added a trio of silver sequins to the mix as raindrops.

CTD264-CloudywithoutYouI edged the finished panel with a narrow strip of silver paper, then added a scallop edged strip to the side. A strip of light blue faux suede ribbon is wrapped around the top of the panel. I topped the ribbon with a button tied with some silvery twine. The finished panel is layered on a coordinating blue card base over a navy blue cardstock panel.

To play along, just create a paper crafted project using these colors as a starting point and add a direct link to your finished project using the linky tool found at the end of this week's CTD post. As always, if you don’t have exact color matches, something close works just fine. And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD264.

Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team and our October guestie, Sankari Wegman.
