Color Throwdown 779-Pineapple Crush Thank You

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Vickie is our hostess this week with a great combination of colors--blue, lime, and brown.

I paired the colors with the current sketch from Sunday Stamps for this thank you card design. The sketch calls for a trio of circles, but I took a few liberties and replaced one with a stamped image--a pineapple from the Paper Smooches Pineapple Crush stamp set. I colored the stamped image with Copic markers before carefully cutting it out by hand. For the remaining round panels, I die cut circles from navy and lime cardstock and matted them on brown cardstock, then adhered the circles to a piece of lime dotted patterned paper. My last "circle" was created from a nest of gold thread that I topped with the pineapple image. The "thank you" sentiment from the PS Pineapple Crush 2 set was stamped on a strip of lime cardstock and adhered over the pineapple image with foam tape. I placed the panel on a brown card base matching the mats behind the round panels to finish 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 CTD779.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd779 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.
