My Heart Belongs to You - Color Throwdown Challenge #678

 

Hello! It's time for a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week, Lynn is our hostess and challenging us to sort of a monochromatic color palette--perfect for a Valentine!

I hadn't had a chance to use Piece of My Heart Die-namics from MFT's January release so I thought it would be perfect for this card. To begin, I cut it from Cotton Candy, Fire Coral, and Amarena Cherry card stocks and pieced it together with tape on the back. Next I dry embossed Kraft card stock with Radiating Sunrise Stencil and, after spattering it with black acrylic ink, adhered it to a Black Licorice card stock with a very narrow Gold Shine card stock mat.

The heart was popped up on foam tape, as was the sentiment from Bitty Hugs & Kisses Stamp Set, which was heat embossed with gold detail embossing powder on Black Licorice card stock cut with Skinny Strips Die-namics. To finish off, I added some gold 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 #CTD678 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd678 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!
