Color Throwdown 820-Thanks a Latte

 

It's time for another Color Throwdown! Wanda is our hostess this week with a warm, rustic color mix--amber, rust, and kraft.

I used the colors and the current sketch from Sunday Stamps for a coffee themd thank you card. My focal image is a to go cup created with dies from SugarPea Designs. I used foam tape to adhere the cup to an amber panel with a strip of rust cardstock along the left side. The rust section is edged with a super narrow strip of kraft cardstock that sets the panel off from the rust card base that I adhered the amber panel to. I die cut the word "latte" from kraft cardstock using another SPD die. After placing narrow strips of foam tape on the back of the word, I arranged it on the cardfront, slightly overlapping the to go cup. The "thanks a" sentiment from the Brew-tiful Sentiments set was stamped on a narrow rust cardstock strip using dark brown ink. I placed it on the cardfront, tucking the left edge of the strip under the raised cup and the panel beneath the top letters in the die cut word. A trio of dark brown enamel dots arranged on the left side of the to go cup complete 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 CTD820. If you upload your projects on social media, go ahead and use the hashtag #ctd820 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.
