Color Throwdown 165-Wishing You Sunshine

It’s time for this week’s Color Throwdown! Laura is our hostess this week and she’s challenging us to use Daffodil Delight, Peach Parfait, Pool Party, and Old Olive.

I combined the colors with this week’s TCP Tuesday challenge to use acetate for this sweet card. I used the little puddle jumper image from the Wet Puddle set as my focal image. It’s colored with Copic markers and the boots are coated with Glossy Accents for a shiny look. I used foam tape to attach the image to a dot embossed blue circle. An acetate rain puddle is slipped underneath the boots—it’s hard to see in the photo, but it’s there! I added a pair of felt clouds, cut apart from a strip I made with the CutUps Cloud Border die, and a yellow button sun tied with orange baker’s twine to finish the scene.

I attached a strip of peach-y patterned paper at the bottom of a Daffodil Delight cardfront, then added the scene so it overlapped the top of the patterned strip. The set’s “wishing you sunshine” sentiment is stamped on an orange strip and set on the patterned paper panel.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Color Throwdown team and this month’s special guestie have come up with using these colors. Here’s where to find them:
