Color Throwdown 543-Simple Birthday

It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Broni is our hostess this week with a great mix of colors--aqua, green, and gray.  I paired the colors with the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch to create this simple and easy to mail birthday card.

I built my card on an aqua card base.  A strip of green on green dotted patterned paper was adhered along the bottom of the panel. For the sentiment, I cut out the words "happy birthday" from gray cardstock using the Happy Birthday Border die from Lil' Inker Designs.  The contrasting gray text strip was adhered to the cardfront at the top of the green dotted 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 CTD543.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd543 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, Amy Tsuruta.
