Warm Winter Hugs - Color Throwdown Challenge #720

 

Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Wanda is our hostess and she has challenged us to a gorgeous color palette based on the equally gorgeous inspiration piece. 

I almost immediately got an idea for this challenge and went to work. I started by stamping Snowflake Flurry Background on Kraft card stock, cut the sides with Torn Paper Edges Die-namics, and adhered it to a Smooth White card stock base. Next, I cut Coffee Mug Die-namics from No Line Coloring cad stock and colored it with Copic markers to resemble a copper mug.

I adhered Stackable Snowflakes Die-namics, cut from Smooth White card stock, on the card front, then popped up the copper mug on foam tape. DBD Winter Greenery was stamped with Extreme Black hybrid ink and Iced Spruce Distress Ink, colored with Copic markers and nestled around the bottom of the mug.

The sentiment, from This Hugs's for You Stamp Set was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock then popped up on foam tape for the finish. 

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.

Thanks - Color Throwdown Challenge #719

 

Hey there, it's time for a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Vickie is our hostess and she's challenging us to some seasonal colors, based on her gorgeous inspiration piece. Hope to see lots of you playing along with us this week.

To begin, I cut Lot's of Leaves Cover-Up Die-namics from No-Line Coloring card stock and colored the leaves with Copic markers. Next, I framed the leaves with Gold Shine card stock cut with A2 Rectangle Frames Die-namics, adhered directly to the leaves die cut.

I created a Milk Chocolate card stock card base and adhered the leaves and frame with foam tape. Thanks Die-namics was cut from more Gold Shine card stock and adhered directly in the center.

To finish off, I added some matching 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.

A Note to Say Thanks - Color Throwdown Challenge #718

 


Hey there! Welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Lynn is challenging us with a decidedly Fall color palette. Hope to see lots of you playing along with us.

Some time ago, MFT had Triangle STAX Die-namics that I loved and used a lot for cards similar to today's! Sadly they were retired and I had no triangles to play with. I was looking at MSTN Cool Christmas Trees Die-namics with a mind to creating a Fall forest with them but once I realized it was chocked full of triangles of every size I changed course and went for one of my favorite graphic designs.

To begin, I adhered a panel of MSTN Black & White Plaid Patterned Paper to a Smooth White card stock base, then cut all the trees from MSTN Cool Christmas Trees Die-namics from Butterscotch, Orange Zest, and Moroccan Spice card stocks. I had so much fun arranging the triangles and once I was happy, they were adhered to the card front, mostly popped up on foam tape.

Once that was done, I heat embossed the sentiment from Itty Bitty Thanks on Black Licorice card stock cut with Itty Bitty Strips Die-namics and popped it up on foam tape, as well. Some enamel dots in the challenge colors finished it off.

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.

Happy Holidays - Color Throwdown Challenge #717

 


Hello and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! This week Lori is our hostess and she has a classic color combo for us to work with based on her quirky inspiration piece.

I decided to go all classic with my product choice and design. I'm using DBD Pretty Poinsettias Stamp Set and Die-namics for the images which were stamped on No Line coloring card stock with Extreme Black hybrid ink, cut out with the coordinating Die-namics, and colored with Copic markers.

Once the images were done I set them aside and started on the card base. Smooth White card stock was covered with Joyful Plaid Patterned Paper, then the sentiment was heat embossed on Black Licorice card stock and adhered to the card base with foam tape.

The colored images were adhered with hot glue and foam tape and I finished off with 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.

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.
