Color Throwdown 641-Waving Hello

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Amy Rysavy is our hostess with a home decor inspired color palette--red, pale blue, kraft, and ivory. 

I paired the challenge colors with the current sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday and stamps and dies from Paper Smooches. The focal panel was a perfect fit for the sailboat from PS's Wicked Nauticool stamp set. I stamped the boat on cream cardstock and colored it with kraft colored Copic markers. The boat was placed on a background made from pale blue grid patterned paper with a strip of pale blue "waves" along the bottom. I matted the image panel on cream cardstock before layering it on a kraft card base over a contrasting red cardstock panel, angling the panels for interest. As accents, I tucked half of a light blue oval panel beneath the right edge of the image panel and added a torn strip of red dotted washi tape at the bottom right corner. The "waving hello" sentiment was stamped in the lower left corner of the image panel. A pair of cream die cut clouds filled in the scene and finished 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 CTD641.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd641 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 MaryKaren Matt
