It's time for another Color Throwdown! It's my turn to be challenge hostess this week and I've taken my inspiration colors--pink, purple, and green--from a fun repurposed basketball planter.
I paired the colors with the current challenge from The Paper Players. My focal image is a cluster of flowers created with the Reverse Confetti Poppies stamp set. I used my MISTI to stamp the images so that I could double stamp some of the layers to get more color depth. Once I'd finished stamping, I used the matching die to cut out the image. I used foam tape to place it on a purple card base with a purple patterned panel on top and a solid pink cardstock panel on the bottom. A narrow green strip covers the transition between the two panels. I stamped the set's "many thanks" sentiment just beneath the green strip to complete 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 CTD677. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd677 and #colorthrowdown.

Lori, this is so pretty. Isn't the misti great for double stamping to get more depth. I don't know how we managed before it! I love the soft, feminine colors and those whimsical flowers are fabulous. Such a great take on the sketch. So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week
