Color Throwdown 375-Sending Smiles

It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Joan is our hostess this week and she's shared a nature inspired color combination--green, orange, yellow, and gray.

I paired the colors with a loose interpretation of the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch.  My focal image is the bunny from Mama Elephant's Up and Away set.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut with the matching die.  I used a bit of white flock on the belly and tail for a fluffy look.  Instead of using the balloons from the Up and Away set, I made a smaller balloon bouquet using balloons from the Pandamonium stamp set.  I used real twine to add their strings.  The bunny and balloons were arranged on the card, using foam tape for dimension.  The "sending smiles" sentiment was stamped next to the bunny in black ink.

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 CTD375. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd375 and #colorthrowdown. You can find us on Instagram (and on Facebook!) with the username colorthrowdown.

Before you get started, here’s some inspiration from the talented Color Throwdown team, our January guestie Amy Rysavy, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Gloria Lee .
