Color Throwdown 756-Thank You So Much

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Lisa is our hostess this week with an earth-toned mix of colors--green, orange, and brown

My card's layout is based on the current challenge at TGIF Challenges. I used leaves from Reverse Confetti's Fall Foliage to create a warm focal point beneath the sentiment. The leaves were stamped in brown, then inked with distress oxides and cut out by hand. I arranged them on a kraft card base over a wide strip of orange patterned paper rescued from my scrap bin. The patterned panel was edged in brown to help it stand out. I did the same on the sentiment panel after stamping the text from RC's Sentimental Sayings set in brown on a cream strip. The sentiment was placed over the leaves using foam tape for dimension. A green fishtail flag strip tied with twine for texture was placed at the top of the cardfront to finish the design.

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 CTD756.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd756 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.
