Sending Cheer - Color Throwdown Challenge #716

 

Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge. This week Lisa is our hostess and she has some gorgeous Autumnal shades for us to play with this week. Hope to see lots of you joining us!

I don't have any card stock in these exact colors so I went with a sponged background in order to incorporate them. First, I sponged Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Wilted Violet, Victorian Velvet, and Forest Moss Distress Inks and allowed it to dry. Once dry, I heat embossed the tree from Mod and Merry Stamp Set with white detail embossing powder.

Once that cooled, I spattered it with gold acrylic ink and set it aside to dry. Meanwhile, I created a Smooth White card stock base and a mat of Gold Shine card stock. I also cut a small star using Tag Builder Blueprints 6 Die-namics.

When the ink was dry I heat embossed the sentiment from the set using gold detail embossing powder, adhered the gold mat, and adhered the card front to the base with foam tape. To finish, the gold star was popped up on a bit of foam tape.

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 #CTD716 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd716 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!

I have another adorable farmhouse for you today, this one in a starry night setting.

To begin, I sponged Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper with Broken China, Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire, & Black Soot Distress Inks, and when dry, I heat embossed the sentiment and spattered with diluted white craft paint for the stars. The snowy ground was masked off using Drifts & Hills Stencil.

I created a farmhouse for this card, nestled among the trees with a snowy sky background using Watercolor Wash - Free Form and Drifts and Hills Stencils along with Snowy Sky Distress Ink. The sentiment from Home for the Holidays Stamp Set was stamped at the bottom with Extreme Black hybrid ink then adhered to a Smooth White card stock base.

Next, I cut all the components of the house and accents, added Copic marker highlights where needed and assembled everything. Once assembled, all of the die cuts were adhered on the card front, some directly and some popped up on foam tape for dimension. To finish off I spattered the whole thing with slightly watered-down white craft ink using a small art brush to simulate falling snow.

My background was created using Mini Cloud Edges and Grassy Edges Stencils (ink colors below). Once that was done a stamped the sentiment from RAM Too Cute to Spook Stamp set and popped the card front up on the card base with foam tape.

The image from the stamp set was stamped on No Line Coloring card stock, cut with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers, then popped up on the card front with foam tape.

I created an infinity shaker for today's card using Snow Buddy Die-namics and MSTN Cool Christmas Greetings Stamp Set. To begin, I spattered white craft paint on Cement Gray card stock and once that dried, stamped the sentiment using Extreme Black hybrid ink.

I used several different filler materials, all with a low profile, and sealed it up for the finish!

I love this sentiment so much that I designed my whole card around it, LOL! So, to begin, I sponged a snow scene on Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper using Drifts and Hills Stencil and Stormy Sky Distress Ink then spread snow through First Snowfall stencil. I wanted more snow so I spattered some white craft paint with a small art brush and set the card front aside to dry.

The image was stamped on No Line coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

The sentiment was stamped on the card front with Extreme Black hybrid ink, the colored image was popped up on foam tape, and it was done!
