Color Throwdown 555-Thinking of You


It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Jodi is our hostess this week with a floral inspired color combination--green,yellow, pink, and lavender.

Thinking of You card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Reverse Confetti
I paired the colors with the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch.  I used Reverse Confetti's Blooms 'n Buds stamp set to stamp up a pair of flowers and a leafy branch in the challenge colors. After cutting out the stamped images with the coordinating dies, I used foam tape to arrange the images on a lavender card base over a pair of fishtail flag strips cut with a die from RC's Tag Me die set.  The "thinking of you" sentiment from the Word Up stamp set was stamped on the green fishtail flag strip in black ink 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 CTD555.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd555 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, Lucie G, and this week's Guest Star Stamper, Kelly Schirmer.
