Color Throwdown 512-Holiday Wishes

It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Barbara is our hostess this week with a beautiful color combination--turquoise, green, and gray.  I paired the colors with the current challenge at The Paper Players for this non-traditional holiday card.

I love making holiday cards in unexpected colors and I knew these colors would look so pretty on a holiday card.  I covered most of a green card base with a turquoise and green patterned paper, cut into two pieces on a slant.  The round panel with the gray snowflake die cut was added on top.  I accented the flake with a clear crystal at the center. For the sentiment, I stamped "holiday wishes" from Reverse Confetti's Seasonal Sentiments set in white pigment ink on turquoise cardstock and adhered the piece to the bottom right side of the cardfront. I wanted to stamp the text directly on the patterned paper, but I was worried it would get lost in the pattern, so I went with the solid background instead.

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 CTD512.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd512 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, September's Guest Designer, Amy Kolling, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Sofia.
