Color Throwdown 753-You're the Zest

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Broni is our hostess with a mix of colors inspired by a floral tablescape--pink, aqua, yellow, and lime.

You're the Zest card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn
The yellow and lime made me think of lemon and lime, so I ran with it! The layout comes from the current challenge at The Paper Players. For my focal image panel, I die cut a lemon, lime, and some leaves from cardstock scraps. The pieces were assembled then arranged on an aqua circle. For dimension, I adhered the lemon and lime with foam tape, which let me tuck the leaves underneath. I placed the round panel on the left side of a lemon yellow card base over a lime green cardstock panel topped with an offset lemony yellow striped patterned paper panel. The "you're the zest!" sentiment from Lawn Fawn's You're the Zest stamp set was stamped on a pink cardstock strip and layered over the die cut lemon to finish the card with a contrasting pop of color. Another thank you card to add to my stash!

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 CTD753.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd753 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.
