Color Throwdown 793-Best. Mom. Ever

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Broni is our hostess this week with a vibrant color combination--orange, purple, and aqua.

Best. Mom. Ever card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from My Favorite Things
I used the colors to create a card for my mom for Mother's Day. My focal image is a pretty bouquet from the Mother's Day Bouquet set from My Favorite Things. I used Copic markers to color up the image, then carefully cut it out by hand. The image was adhered to a purple pierced circle die cut using foam tape for dimension. I positioned the round panel at the right side of an aqua card base, then trimmed the rounded edge so it was flush with the side of the card base. The "Best. Mom. Ever" sentiment from MFT's All About Mom stamp set was stamped in purple ink on a narrow white strip. I used more foam tape to place it on the card, slightly overlapping the bouquet. A trio of orange matte enamel dots scattered around the sentiment strip completed 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 CTD793. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd793 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.
