Heck Yes! It’s Your Birthday!–Color Throwdown Challenge #583

Hi there and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! Today Miss Broni is our hostess and she has chosen some SUPER sweet colors based on her adorable inspiration piece. Come join us this week, won’t you?





I decided to go really CAS with this card to highlight these gorgeous colors so I chose to use Big Balloons Stencils and MFT dye inks in Blu Raspberry, Orange Zest, and Cotton Candy for the colors. Once that was done, I hand drew the strings using a black Copic multiline pen, added highlights with a white gel pen, and stamped the sentiment, from Anything-but-Basic Birthday Greetings with Extreme Black hybrid ink.

Before adhering that panel with foam tape, I added a strip of Sweet Celebration Paper Pack on one side of a Sweet Tooth card stock base and when that was all done I finished off with some enamel dots.

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 CTD583 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd583 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!
