Color Throwdown 174-You Light up my Life

It's time for this week's Color Throwdown! Broni's chosen this week's pretty color palette of Soft Sky, Daffodil Delight, River Rock, and Soft Suede. This set of colors works for lots of different types of projects as you'll see in the CTD's team samples.

I used the colors for a masculine card featuring the lighthouse image from Our Craft Lounge's Smooth Sailing set. The colored lighthouse is set on a panel with a sponged-in cloudy sky and bright beam of light and a torn cardstock sandy shore. I covered the windows with Glossy Accents for a glass-like look.

I kept the rest of the layout simple, using an argyle patterned paper to cover most of the cardfront. A Soft Suede panel, wrapped with a piece of matching brown twill sits at the center of the panel with the image on top of that. I stamped the "you light up my life" sentiment on a Soft Sky strip and attached it underneath the left 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. And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD174. Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team:
