Color Throwdown 553-Quite Cool


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

Quite Cool card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Concord & 9thI paired the colors with the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch.  I started out with a bright yellow card base and added a wide orange cardstock strip to the bottom of the cardfront.  A pair of bright pink strips in varying widths were adhered to the left side of the cardfront.  I colored up a pair of popsicles from Concord & 9th's Sweet & Cool stamp set using Copic markers and cut them out with the matching die.  After coating them with some clear glitter for an icy look, I used foam tape to adhere them to the cardfront.  A trio of clear flat sequin "drips" were  arranged around the images.  I stamped the set's "I think you're quite cool" sentiment at the lower right corner of the corner to finish 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 CTD553.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd553 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, July's Guest Designer, Susie Moore, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Tina Wilstrup.
