Color Throwdown 214-Happy Fall

It’s time for another Color Throwdown! Joan is our hostess this week and she’s brought us this pretty combination to try—Summer Sun, Brilliant Blue, White, and Old Olive. I combined the colors with some new stamps and dies from Clear and Simple Stamps.

I made a simple fall scene, built on a piece of golden yellow cardstock with a sunburst pattern, courtesy of the sunburst pattern on the Imprints 3 plate from CSS. The panel was sprayed with some shimmer spray for a sparkly look—it doesn’t show well in the picture, but it looks great in person. I die cut a pair of green strips with a grass die and layered them at the bottom of the panel, using foam tape to add dimension.

The scarecrow from the Fall Frenzy set was stamped on white cardstock, colored with Copic markers, and cut out, then set on the scene with more foam tape. I die cut a pair of clouds from white felt and layered them on the left side of the card. The set’s “happy fall” sentiment is stamped in green ink on a kraft Favor Flag die cut and adhered to the right side of the card, anchored by a twine-tied button.

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 CTD214. Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team and our October guestie, Dawn Easton.
