It's time for another Color Throwdown! Wanda has a mix of neutrals with a pop of color for this week's challenge--yellow, gray, black, and white. I paired the colors with the current sketch at Sunday Stamps for this cheery card.
I used Lawn Fawn's Spring Showers dies to cut a yellow sun and shimmery white clouds from cardstock scraps. The die cuts were arranged at the left side of a white panel stamped with the "hello sunshine" sentiment from the Hello Sunshine stamp set. After matting the panel on contrasting black cardstock, I adhered it to the lower part of a gray dotted patterned paper panel that I'd edged with a narrow strip of golden yellow cardstock. The panel was adhered to a black card base to match the mat beneath the sentiment panel. A trio of shiny silver raindrops beneath the clouds completed 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 CTD650. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd650 and #colorthrowdown.

Beautiful, Lori - love those dies, a stitched cloud always makes my day, and now there's a sun to go with, lol. Just perfect! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun take on our sketch! Love the vibrant yellow which couldn't be more perfect with the sentiment. Thanks for playing along with us at Sunday Stamps!
ReplyDeleteNice card. The sun/cloud dies are cute and you can't go wrong with polka dots.
