Paper Pursuits: Masculine Birthday

Hi, all, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown! This week I’m the host and I chose this earthy color palette based on my inspiration piece.

I thought these colors would make a rockin’ masculine birthday card so that’s what I went with. My base card is Cajun Craze, embossed for texture and interest. The chevron panel is MFT’s Whip Cream card stock stamped with Soft Suede using a stamp from LJD Spring Backgrounds. I cut both of the double ended ribbons from my Die-namics First Place Award Ribbon set and layered them up with Lucky Limeade and Marina Mist. The sentiment is from DC Just My Type stamped with Soft Suede. I finished it off with a Tangy Orange button, a Jellybean Green button, and a blue button, all threaded with hemp cord. My layout was inspired by a card I saved from Jessica Witty’s blog.

Here’s the inside with a sentiment from Big Greetings:

And that’s it from me! Remember, you do not have to have the exact colors to play the Color Throwdown challenge. If you don't, just use the closest you have.
