Color Throwdown 539-HB2U

It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Vicki is our hostess this week with a bold mix of colors--orange, yellow, and blue.

I paired the colors with the current challenge at Sunday Stamps for this birthday themed design.  I used a plaid paper from a Halloween paper collection for the trio of panels that run across the cardfront.  With the birthday sentiment--a blue tag from the My Favorite Things Tag Talk set--it doesn't look Halloween-ish at all!  I matted each plaid piece on yellow cardstock before adhering it to an orange card base.  The die cut tag, with the negative space filled in with yellow cardstock and tied with some orange twill, was positioned on the cardfront using foam tape.  A pair of orange matte enamel dot accents completed the design.

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 CTD539.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd539 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, April's Guest Designer, Lee Ann Barrett, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Lisa Johansen.
