Color Throwdown 764-Have a Ball

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Amy Rohl is our hostess this week with a mix of colors inspired by nature--green, orange, and blue.

I paired the colors with the current challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday for this basketball themed birthday card that I'll give to my dad later this month. The images for my card come from Lawn Fawn's All-Star stamp set. The images were stamped in black ink and colored with Copic markers, then carefully cut out. I made a background panel for the trio of basketball images from blue on blue dotted patterned paper blocks arranged on an orange cardstock panel. The orange panel was layered on green cardstock before I placed it on the left side of a coordinating blue card base. The "it's your birthday" and "have a ball" sentiments were stamped on a curve to match the shape of the round sentiment panel. I added the basketball net in the center, using foam tape to set it off from the words. After matting the panel on a slightly larger orange circle, I added it to the cardfront, tucking it underneath the raised basketball image on the lowest dotted panel.

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 CTD764.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd764 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.
