Fall Is the Best Season of All–Color Throwdown Challenge #606

Welcome to a new Color Throwdown Challenge! Lisa is our hostess this week and I’m in love with her pastel colors based on her gorgeous inspiration piece.




I couldn’t put MFT’s recent release Autumn Blessings Stamp Set and Die-namics away just yet so I decided to see how they’d look with more unconventional colors. To begin, I heat embossed All Lined Up Diagonally Background on a panel of Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper then sponged Berrylicious dye ink through Oval Extraordinaire Stencil and popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then I stamped the pumpkins and leaves from Autumn Blessings stamp set, cut them out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

I arranged the images and adhered them in place, then heat embossed the sentiment on Black Licorice card stock cut with Stitched Sentiment Strips Die-namics, and 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 CTD606 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd606 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!
