Color Throwdown 801-Thanks a Latte

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Amy Rysavy is our challenge hostess this week with a great mix of colors--navy, terracotta, and kraft.

I paired the challenge colors with the current sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday for this coffee themed design. My focal image is a to-go coffee cup made with dies from SugarPea Designs. I used foam tape to adhere the assembled die cut pieces to the left side of a navy cardstock strip. The "thanks a latte" sentiment fills the right side of the strip. For interest, I heat embossed the "thanks a" from SPD's Brew-tiful Sentiments set in white, then added the die cut "latte" beneath it. The kraft card base was stamped with a coffee ring image from the same sentiment set. The terracotta ink I used looks a lot like coffee! I adhered the navy strip to the card base 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 CTD801. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd801 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.
