Thanks–CTD #354

CTD354_2015aug5


Hello there, and welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! Wanda has a beach-y color palette for us today—soft and soothing.


swatch 354

I’m using some products from the just release August MFT lineup for my card today. I started with a Kraft card stock base, then, on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper, I stamped Wonky Chevron Background (I LOVE this background!!!) with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, tied around some hemp baker’s twine, and popped it up on foam mounting tape. Next I added a Pierced Circle Frames Die-namics cut from Dots & Stripes Neutral Paper Pack and popped that up, as well. Then, on a Blueprints 12 Die-namics cut from Black Licorice card stock, I stamped part of a sentiment from Encouraging Words with Versamark, heat embossed with white detail embossing powder, as popped that up, too. Then, I cut LJD Scribble Roses Die-namics from Ranger watercolor paper, stamped the images from LJD Scribble Roses with Black Licorice hybrid ink, and colored them with my Zig Clean Color Brush Markers and added them to the card. I finished off with some enamel dots and it was done!

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. So, c'mon over to the Color Throwdown blog and play along with us this week. Please use the link service to post your card and please link directly to your card so we can find it easily. And please include a link in your post to the Color Throwdown. If you upload your card to a public forum, please use the keyword CTD354 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd354 and #colorthrowdown on social media. Hope to see you there! Be sure to check out what the other team members have come up with this week, including our incredibly talented August Guest Designer, Lindsay Amhrein!
