Color Throwdown 172-Jingle All Way

It’s time for another Color Throwdown! This week’s colors come to us from Kerri. She’s given us a bright, cheery combination inspired by Echo Park’s Holly Jolly Christmas collection—Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Chocolate Chip, and Bermuda Bay.

I used a pair of patterned papers from the Echo Park collection along with this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge for my card. The focal image is from the Jingle Bells set from The Cat’s Pajamas—I’ve neglected the OuOu cuties from last year’s winter release with all of the excitement over the most recent release and all its fun bunnies! I colored the girlie with Copic markers and added a little white flock along the edges of her little coat. A single gold jingle bell brad sits in her hand to match the “jingle all the way” sentiment stamped alongside the image.

Each of the patterned papers is matted on orange, then layered on the Bermuda Bay cardfront. I made sure to use the collection’s music print paper to go with the “Jingle Bells” theme I have going on! A strip of pink ribbon runs across the card, finished off with a big bow. The image is layered on pink and orange mats, then set over the ribbon.

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. And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD172. Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team:
