Happy Holidays - Color Throwdown Challenge #621

 

Hey there, it's time for a new Color Throwdown Challenge!! This week Amy Rysavy is our hostess and she's got some holiday colors for us to play with,

To begin this card, I created a watercolor background using Peerless Watercolors on Ranger Watercolor paper, and when dry, spattered it with first clean water and then white craft paint and silver and black acrylic inks.

When that was dry, I popped it up on a Sweet Tooth card stock base then adhered Snowflake Window Die-namics, cut from Silver Sparkle card stock, with foam tape as well. Next, I added the sentiment, from Bitty Birthday Wishes Stamp set, heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock cut with Skinny Strips Die-namics.

To finish off and bring in the last two challenge colors, I added Holly Berries Die-namics, cut from No Line Coloring card stock and colored with Copic markers.

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 #CTD621 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd621 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!
