I paired the bold colors with Altenew's Bold Bunch stamp set. I stamped a pair of flowers in vivid purple ink and a leafy branch in vibrant green, then cut out the images with the coordinating dies. The images were arranged on a turquoise cardstock strip, using foam tape to give the flowers dimension and leaving room to tuck the leafy branch underneath. To bring in the blue to the floral cluster, I stamped the set's tiny branch image in green ink and added the buds (or berries--not sure which these are since flowers really aren't my thing...) in blue. The small image was tucked beneath the flowers opposite of the larger branch for balance. The dressed up strip was adhered to a contrasting white cardstock panel. I added the "thank you" sentiment from the Penned Rose stamp set to the opposite side of the strip in purple ink. The finished panel was adhered 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 CTD649. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd649 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 Jennifer Kelly.
