Color Throwdown 600-I'm So Happy I Found You



It's time for another Color Throwdown! This is a special one since it's our 600th, yes, 600th, challenge!  We thank you all for playing along with us each and every one of those weeks!  Wanda is our hostess this week with a watermelon inspired color combination--red, green, black, and white. 

I'm So Happy I Found You card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps from Lawn Fawn
I paired the colors with the current sketch at CAS(e) this Sketch and Lawn Fawn's Hey Lady stamp set.  I colored up the set's leaf, ladybug, and magnifying glass images with Copic markers before cutting out the colored images with my Scan 'n Cut machine.  The leaf and ladybug were arranged on a white panel using foam tapel  A circle punch was used to cut out the center of the magnifying glass before it was adhered to the image panel, framing the ladybug image.  I matted the image panel on black cardstock before adhering it to a green card base over a strip of red plaid cardstock also matted on black. The set's "I'm so happy I found you" sentiment" was stamped on a narrow white strip and also matted on black cardstock before it was adhered beneath the image 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 CTD600If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd600 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 and this week's Guest Star Stamper Betty Wright.
