Color Throwdown 773-Season of Joy

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Broni is our hostess this week with a vibrant mix of colors--green, purple, blue, and gold.

I paired the colors with the current sketch from TGIF Challenges for a holiday themed design. I used a bold stamp/die pair for my focal point. The word "joy" from a classic limited edition stamp set from Clear and Simple Stamps was stamped in gold on a navy die cut, then heat embossed to really stand out. I used foam tape to place the word on a purple panel. I stamped "it's the season of" above the die cut in navy ink, then tucked a narrow strip of green cardstock edged with gold beneath the raised word to set it off from the background. A little bit of gold thread was tied around the right side of the green strip and secured with a bow as a simple accent. The sentiment panel was placed on a gold panel over strips of blue and green cardstock. I centered the panel on a purple card base 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 CTD773.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd773 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.
