Color Throwdown 818-Fall Birthday

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Lynn is our hostess this week with a mix of earthy colors--orange, moss, and cranberry.

I paired the colors with the current challenge from Sketch Saturday to create a fall birthday card. My focal image is a tag cut from kraft cardstock and dressed up with a pair of stamped leaves from Papertrey Ink's Autumn Acorns stamp set at the bottom and a pretty cranberry ribbon at the top. I stamped the "happy birthday" from one of PTI's Keep It Simple sentiment sets on the tag in brown ink before placing it on a cranberry card base topped with a strip of plaid patterned paper.

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 CTD818. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd818 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. We're excited to welcome Tammy back to the team today, so be sure to stop by to check out her design.
