Color Throwdown 462-Fall Hello


It's time for another Color Throwdown! Barbara is our hostess this week with a vibrant seasonal color combination of rust, green, orange, and aqua.

Fall Hello card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Lawn FawnI used another image that I had already colored for this month's Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge on this card.  The cute fox was one of a bunch of Lawn Fawn woodland critters that I'd colored one night and his pretty rust color was perfect for this week's CTD colors--and the current Lawn Fawnatics fall mood board challenge, too.  I made the fox the center of a sweet scene with an aqua sky background and some green "grass" along the bottom.  To ground the image, I perched the fox on a log stamped  with an image from the Into the Woods set.  I filled in the scene with an orange pinking circle sun and a pair of shimmery white clouds. 

The panel was wrapped with a bit of orange grosgrain ribbon, then matted on kraft cardstock.  I adhered the scene to a rust card base with an orange striped patterned paper panel across the bottom.  The orange patterned paper is edged with a narrow strip of aqua cardstock to bring in the aqua from the scene's background.  The final element was the speech bubble "hello" sentiment.  I stamped it in aqua ink and cut it out with the matching die, then adhered it to the 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.  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 CTD462.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd462 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 September guestie Tammy Hershberger, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Tricia Barber.
