It's time for another Color Throwdown! Susie is our challenge hostess this week with some sweet strawberry inspired colors--red, yellow, and green.
I love Lawn Fawn's Strawberry Patch dies and I couldn't resist the opportunity to use them for this week's challenge to create another birthday card to set aside to give to one of my work colleagues during the upcoming school year. After die cutting the berries and leafy branches, I arranged them on a sunny yellow card base. The berries were adhered with foam tape for a little dimension. I had room to stamp the "have a BERRY happy birthday" sentiment from LF's How You Bean? Strawberries Add-On set to the left of the berry branch. Originally the words were stamped directly on the cardfront, but I wasn't thrilled with how it looked. I ended up stamping the words again on a narrow strip of green cardstock and placing the strip over the words on the cardfront. A trio of red enamel dots around the berries finished 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 CTD805. If you upload your projects on social media,
go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd805 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.
