Color Throwdown 769-Happy Birthday

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Vickie is our hostess this week with a pretty mix of colors--pink, grey, and green.

On e of my friends has a little one who's turning four shortly, so I used the colors to make her a birthday card. The layout for my design is based on the current sketch from TGIF Challenges. Since the birthday girl is a big fan of Daniel Tiger, I picked a cat image from Reverse Confetti's Heart Pals set as my focal image. I colored the cat and balloons with Copic markers before cutting the image out by hand and placing it on a white circle using foam tape. The patterned paper panels on my cardfront were pieces found in my scrap pile. The colors match the challenge pretty well and the patterns worked perfectly together. I matted all of the panels on green cardstock and arranged them on a pink card base. The "happy birthday" sentiment was created by combining words from two RC sets--Hooray and Happy Coordinates. The text was matted on green and added to the cardfront overlapping all three panels to finish the card. It's already on its way to the birthday girl!

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 CTD769.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd769 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.
