Color Throwdown 518-More Than Hot Cocoa and Cookies


It's time for another Color Throwdown! Lynn is our hostess this week with a color combination with a definite fall feel--slate blue, orange, brown, and white.  I paired the colors with the current Fab Friday challenge for my warm and cozy design.

More Than Hot Cocoa and Cookies card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps from WPlus9
I colored up the mug image and a pair of sandwich cookies from WPlus9's Cookies & Cocoa stamp set with Copic markers, then used my Scan 'n Cut machine to cut out the colored images.  They were arranged on a white panel using foam tape for dimension.  I matted the panel on blue cardstock to match the mug, then adhered it to the bottom right corner of a brown cardstock panel over a seasonal orange houndstooth patterned square that I found in my scrap pile.  The set's "I love you more than hot cocoa and cookies" sentiment was stamped at the top of the panel in white pigment ink, then heat embossed in white to stand out against the background.  I adhered the finished panel to a blue 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 CTD518.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd518 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, November's Guest Designer, Caly Person, and our Guest Star Stamper, Hannelie Bester.
