Color Throwdown 770-Leafy Thanks

 It's time for another Color Throwdown! Wanda is our hostess this week with a pair of green paired with classic neutrals--white, black, dark green, and yellow green.

I paired the colors with the current sketch from Sunday Stamps for this thank you design that's perfect for the current season. My focal image is a leafy branch created with Altenew's Leaf Canopy stamps and dies. It's hard to see in the photo, but the image outline is stamped in dark green ink. I used foam tape to adhere the branch to a green circle. After making a card base from the same green cardstock as I used for the round panel, I added a large yellow green panel at the center of the cardfront and topped it with a wide strip of black cardstock. The "thanks" sentiment from Altenew's Inside and Out: Thanks set was stamped on the black panel in white ink and heat embossed. It ended up looking like the chalkboard in the color swatch photo! The small circle was placed at the lower right of the black strip to complete 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 CTD770.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd770 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.
