You Make a Year Older Look Fabulous–Color Throwdown Challenge #553

Hi all, welcome to another Color Throwdown Challenge! Today Miss Broni is our hostess and she has some hot colors for us to play with.



I decided to go CAS with today’s card and to that end sponged Big Balloons Stencil with Razzle Berry, Orange Fizz, and Lemon Drop dye inks. Th sentiment is from Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 2 and was stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink and I used a black Copic Multiliner pen to draw the balloon strings free-hand.

Before I popped the card front up on foam tape on a Sweet Tooth card stock base with a strip of Black & White Strips Paper Pack across the bottom, I tied around some baker’s twine.

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 CTD553 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd553 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 amazing July Guest Designer, Susie Moore!
