Color Throwdown 290-Fly Away with Me


It’s time for another Color Throwdown! Tammy is our hostess this week and she's selected this pretty color combination—Basic Black, Cameo Coral, Cool Caribbean, and Barely Banana. Cool Caribbean just might be my all-time favorite Stampin’ Up! blue color, so I’m always happy to get a chance to feature it on a project!

Fly Away with Me card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps from Lawn FawnI used the colors along with the current sketch from the Clean and Simple Stamping blog for this sweet, simple design. I cut three squares of striped patterned paper and matted each on a slightly larger Cool Caribbean square, then adhered the squares to a white card base. I filled each square with one of the birds from Lawn Fawn’s Hello Sunshine stamp set. The birds were stamped on scraps of cardstock and cut out, then attached to the squares using dimensional dots.

The “fly away with me” sentiment was stamped in the gap between the squares—it was a perfect fit! I added a different color enamel dot to each square for one final pop of color.

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 featured in your project.  And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD290.

Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team, our April guestie, Jeanne Jachna, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Teresa Kline. In addition to saying goodbye to Jeanne, it’s also Melody’s last week with us—we’re so sad to see both of them go! Next week, we’ll be introducing both a new guestie and a new CTD team member, so be sure to stop by to welcome them.
