Color Throwdown 759- Happy Birthday Drink

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Vickie is our hostess this week with an autumnal mix of colors plus a splash of metallic--orange, red, maroon, and gold.

One of the secretaries at my school is celebrating a birthday, so I used the challenge colors to make a card for her. The layout is from the current challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday. My focal image is a fun drink created with Lawn Fawn's Build-a-Drink dies. I used vellum for the liquid, coloring it with a blend of red and orange distress inks before placing it inside the glass die cut. The glass is layered over a cream card base with a trio of diagonal strips across the lower left corner. The top and bottom strips are orange layered over maroon cardstock. The middle strip is a fun gold dotted washi tape. I stamped the birthday sentiment from LF's All the Party Hats set on a cream strip and matted it on gold foil cardstock. The sentiment strip was layered on to the cardfront using foam tape for dimension. For fun pops of color, I added a red umbrella with a shiny gold handle and an orange slice along with a trio of gold sequins.

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 CTD759.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd759 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.
