Color Throwdown 350-You're the Coolest

It's time for another Color Throwdown!  It's my turn to be the hostess this week for our 350th (yes, 350th!) challenge. The colors for this week's challenge are green, orange, pink, and black, based on the fun paper mache giraffe with trendy triangles we're using for our inspiration this week. 

I haven't  had enough of those fun penguins from the My Favorite Things Penguin Paradise set yet, so I inked them up again for my CTD card.  The card's layout is loosely based on the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch.

I colored up the sunbathing penguin using Copic markers.  He's set into a window opening, using foam tape for dimension.  I added a little layered sun to the top of the window to go with the penguin.  The "you're the coolest" sentiment was stamped just beneath the image. I used foam tape to adhere the window panel to a card base with a contrasting orange dotted pattern along the bottom.

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 CTD350. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd350 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 July guestie, Valentyna Komisarenko, and this week’s guest star stamper, Billie Brockwell.
