It’s Your Big Day - CTD #182

It’s time for another Color Throwdown! Today Tammy is our host and here are the colors she picked for us to work with this week:

swatch 182

I went a little on the CAS side today. White card base, clouds made using my MFT Die-namics Cloud Trio dies, and a colorful kite along with a BIG sentiment.

I cut the clouds out with some white corrugated cardboard for a little texture to make them show up on the white background. Then I cut my kite using my Die-namics Fly a Kite die, and added patterned paper in the challenge colors. The kite tale is some twine with the die-cut bows also in Kraft. I wanted all the color to be on the kite itself. The sentiment is from the just released
Big Greetings set, which is this month’s Triple Scoop set.

Here’s a close-up of the clouds.

And a close up of the sentiment. I love these new big sentiments!

And, finally, here’s the inside of the card with another sentiment from the set.
