Our Friendship is Picture Perfect–Color Throwdown Challenge #604

Hi all, it’s time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Amy Rohl is our hostess and she’s challenging us to a minimalist color palette base on her signature minimalist inspiration piece.




I went a little darker on the terra cotta part, but I thought these cats from BB Picture Perfect Stamp Set was a perfect vehicle for these colors. So, I stamped it on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, colored it with Copic markers, and framed it with Black Licorice card stock cut with Polaroid Shaker Frame Die-namics after heat embossing the sentiment from the set.

Next, I stamped paw prints from BB New Best Friend Stamp set on a Sweet Tooth card stock card base then added a panel of Black & White Stripes Paper Pad “piped” with Tangy Orange card stock and popped up on foam. The framed kitties were also popped up on foam and I finished off with some orange dew drops from my stash. Am I the only one who has these things still hanging around? I have them in EVERY color, LOL! Gonna start using them again.

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 CTD604 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd604 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!
