Color Throwdown 724-You Make My Heart Smile

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Amy Rohl is our hostess this week with combination of neutrals with a pop of color--black, gray, magenta, and white.

I paired the challenge colors with some new goodies from Lawn Fawn's latest release. My focal image is the balloon-toting mouse from the All My Heart stamp set. The image was colored with Copic markers then carefully cut out by hand. I used foam tape to position the image over a pair of die cut shimmery white clouds on a gray card base. The "you make my heart smile" sentiment was stamped in white pigment ink on a black cardstock strip then heat embossed in white to really pop against the background. I adhered the sentiment to the left side of the cardfront beneath the focal cluster of elements.

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 CTD724.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd724 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.
