Hi, Hunny - Color Throwdown Challenge #684

 


Hey there, and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Amy Rohl is our hostess and she's challenging us to a neutral color palette, base on a personal photo of hers.

With yellow and black in the palette I immediately thought of Honey Bees Stamp Set and Honey Bees Die-namics. Along with these I used Beehive Die-namics, Hanging Branch Die-namics and A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics for a scrappy layout.

To begin, I cut my branch, beehive, and the frame. Next I stamped the images on No Line Coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut them with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored them with Copic markers. The I started adhering elements, starting with some corrugated paper with torn edges. Remember this stuff? I used to use it ALL. THE. TIME. I found some in my stash the other day and promised myself to use it sometime and this card was perfect for it! On top of that I added a strip of Black & White Stripes Patterned Paper, the frame, cut from Cement Gray card stock, the branch, cut from Kraft card stock, and the hive, cut from Butterscotch card stock with a Gravel Gray interior. 

All of these layers were either adhered directly or popped up on foam for dimension, as were the colored images. The sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock and likewise popped up on foam tape. I finished off with 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.
