Color Throwdown 355-Shoot for the Moon


It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Barbara's our hostess this week and she's found this fabulous color combination-aqua, cobalt blue, and gray.

Shoot for the Moon card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps from The Cat's PajamasI combined the colors with the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch.  I replaced the sketch's round image with a fun image from the Constellation Prize set from The Cat's Pajamas.  I colored the image with Copic markers, then added a subtle shimmer to the moon with a Wink of Stella glitter pen. The finished image was adhered to a blue cardstock panel over a strip of turquoise cardstock.  I stamped the set's encouraging "shoot for the moon" sentiment just beneath the cardstock strip, then added a trio of silver sequins for a bit more sparkle.  The panel was matted on gray cardstock, then adhered to a white card base.

 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 in your project. And, if you upload your project to an online gallery, use the keyword CTD355. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd355 and #colorthrowdown.
