Wishing You a Sweet Day - Color Throwdown Challenge #642

 

Hello all, welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! I'm hosting this week and would LOVE to see bunches of you playing along with us this week. It's strawberry season where I live so I couldn't resist this homage to that awesome fruit. 

To begin, I sponged my background on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper using Sour Apple and Cement Gray dye inks and spattered the top with clean water and black acrylic ink.

Next I stamped the sentiment, from Sugar-Coated Sentiments Stamp Set with Extreme Black hybrid ink and adhered the panel to a Sweet Tooth card stock base with foam tape. Cupcake and Sprinkles Die-namics was cut from No Line Coloring card stock and colored with Copic markers.

Once it was all dry and assembled, it was popped up on the card front with foam tape and I finished off with some glitter 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 #CTD642 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd642 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!
