Color Throwdown 783-You Are a Peach

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Broni is our hostess this week with a pretty mix of pastel colors--peach, sage green, and cream.

You Are a Peach card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Paper Smooches
I saw the peach color in the swatch and decided to go with a peach as my focal image. The peach I used is from the Paper Smooches Fruitastic stamp set. I colored up the image with Copic markers and cut it out with the matching die. The colored image was placed on a cream cardfront over strips of sage green and gold cardstock. It's hard to see in the photo, but there's a narrow strip of peach cardstock along the left edge of the sage green cardstock strip to pull in just a bit more of the peachy shade. The "you are a peach" sentiment was stamped on a narrow cream cardstock strip. After matting it on peach cardstock, I added it to the cardfront, tucking the left edge just beneath the raised peach image. Glad to have another thank you card for my stash!

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 CTD783.  If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd783 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.
