Color Throwdown 814-Bold Happy Birthday

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Amy Rohl is our hostess this week with a classic color combination--red, yellow, and blue.

For my take on the colors, I created a simple birthday card that I gave to one of my work colleagues on Monday. Since I knew that a bunch of people would be signing the card, I used an easy to write on white card base. The red "happy" die cut backed with a blue frame really pops against the white! I adhered the die cut word over the top of a yellow strip that is edged with a narrow contrasting strip of red cardstock. The "birthday to you" sentiment was stamped on the strip in blue ink. It doesn't look as blue as I would have liked because of the yellow background, but it still works. A few red enamel dots scattered around the stamped sentiment 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 CTD814. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd814 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.
