Color Throwdown 340-Happy Bird-day


It's time for another Color Throwdown!  We have a fun color palette this week courtesy of Jodi--pink, green, and aqua.

Happy Bird-day card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Reverse Confetti
I went with a pretty bold take on the colors and combined them with a stretched out version of the current sketch at Retro Sketches.  My focal image is the flamingo from the Reverse Confetti Fabulous Flamingo set.  I stamped the bird in neon coral ink, then die cut the pieces with the matching dies.  The bird was assembled on a blue panel, using foam tape for dimension.  I added a green half circle, accented with silver brads, to the top left edge of the panel, then adhered it to a green dotted pattenred paper panel.  I stamped the set's "happy bird-day" sentiment on a berry cardstock scrap and adhered it to the right edge of the image 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. 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 CTD340. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd340 and #colorthrowdown. You can find us on Instagram (and on Facebook!) with the username colorthrowdown. Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team, our April guestie, Karen Giron, and this week’s guest star stamper, Kathy Schweinfurth.
