Paper Pursuits: Bow Ties Are Cool

Hello, everyone, it’s Color Throwdown Challenge time! This week Monika is our host and she has a bright color combo for us this week.

My colors aren’t as bright as the inspiration piece but they’re all there. I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base, then on another panel of Sweet Tooth card stock I arranged three images from Terrific Ties stamp set and Terrific Ties Die-namics. Top one was done with Blueberry dye ink, the center with Electric Red dye ink, both on Sweet Tooth card stock, and the bottom one was stamped with Orange Zest dye ink on Daffodil card stock. After I arranged my ties, and using a ruler for guidance, I free roughly drew in a double line frame with a fine line black marker. I popped that panel up on foam mounting tape and added the sentiment, from Terrific Ties stamp set, stamped on Black Licorice card stock with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, then also popped up on foam. I finished off with some Scattered Stars Die-namics and Blueprints 25 Die-namics stars, cut from wood veneer card stock and Ranger silver foil card stock.

A sentiment from For the Boys stamp set was stamped on the inside with Black Licorice dye ink.

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.
