Color Throwdown 541-Happy Mother's Day

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Amy Rysavy is our hostess this week with a great mix of colors--pale pink, brown, black, and white.

I paired the colors with the current challenge at The Paper Players to create this sweet Mother's Day design.  My focal image is the heart-toting bear from Reverse Confetti's Heart Pals stamp set.  I colored the image with Copic markers then used my Scan 'n Cut machine to cut out the colored image. The image was adhered to a white stitched circle die cut using foam tape for dimension.  I matted the image on a dark brown circle, then adhered it to a pink card base over a pair of overlapping pink strips, one solid and one dotted.  The strips were matted on brown cardstock to set them off from the pink background.  I combined words from two RC stamp sets (Clink and Whole Lotta Happy) to come up with the "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment that I stamped in black ink to finish the card.

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 CTD541.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd541 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, May's Guest Designer, Cécile Ribon, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Lucie G.
