Color Throwdown 611-Wishing You a Cozy Holiday


It's time for another Color Throwdown!  Amy Rysavy is our hostess this week with a combination featuring classic neutrals and a pop of color--gray, kraft, green, and white.

Wishing You a Cozy Holiday card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Hero Arts
I paired the colors with the current Mojo Monday sketch and some holiday themed stamps and dies from Hero Arts.  These aren't traditional holiday colors, but they work perfectly with the set's to go cup image.  I stamped the to go cup image in green ink, then used the matching die to cut it out.  The image was adhered to a gray cardstock panel with a kraft strip along the right side, using foam tape for dimension.  For the sentiment, I die cut a circle from white cardstock. After matting it on green cardstock to match the to go cup, I positioned it on the panel over the kraft strip and tucked beneath the raised to go cup and lid.  The set's "wishing you a cozy holiday" sentiment was stamped on the circle in the same green ink I used for the to go cup.  A narrow gray fishtail flag strip was layered on to the panel before I adhered it to a coordinating green card base.

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 CTD611If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd611 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 Amanda Dellamano.
