Color Throwdown 737-Flamingo Birthday

It's time for another Color Throwdown! It's my turn to be hostess this week and I've selected a color palette inspired by this fun bedroom scene--pink, rust, and green.

I paired the colors with Reverse Confetti's Fabulous Flamingos stamp set and the current sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday. My flamingo was stamped in pink and rust inks. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the body and wings, then used foam tape to adhere them to the white panel over the legs stamped in rust ink. I used a Heffy Doodle stencil and green distress oxide to create grass to ground the image. The image panel was layered on green cardstock matching the inked grass. I adhered the image panel to the left side of a pink card base over a narrow strip of rust cardstock. The "happy bird-day" sentiment was stamped in rust ink on a white panel, then matted on matching rust cardstock before I adhered it to the cardfront to finish 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 CTD737.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd737 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.
