It's time for another Color Throwdown! Spring is coming soon (it is, right?) and with that in mind, I picked these fun rainboots as inspiration for our challenge this week. The colors we're working with are red, navy blue, turquoise, and kraft. Every spring I walk by the displays with cute rainboots like these and consider picking up a pair for myself. Maybe this will be the year that I actually do it!
I used the Take Off set from The Cat's Pajamas for my card. I colored the airplane flying bunny with Copic markers, then carefully cut out the colored image. The backdrop was made with a piece of turquoise cardstock with a debossed dot pattern. I added the image on top, using foam tape for dimension. A pair of clouds, cut with TCP's CutUpsCloud Border die, rounded out the scene.I edged the bottom of the scene with a navy cardstock strip, then adhered it to a red cardstock panel. The sentiment was stamped just beneath the image in black pigment ink. I adhered the finished panel to a kraft card base.
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. Just be sure that the challenge colors are the dominant ones in your project. And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD332.
Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team, our March guestie, Holly Brown, and this week’s guest star stamper, Kevin.
