Thanks Just For Being You - Color Throwdown #458

CTD458_2017aug30


Hi, everyone, and welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! Today Lynn is our hostess and she has a bright back-to-school color palette for us to play with.

My card today could be used as a teacher appreciation card and can be either feminine or masculine, I think. I started by dry embossing some Sweet Tooth card stock with English Brick Wall Stencil for the background to suggest a school building. The colors were introduced but cutting Daffodil card stock, Red Hot card stock, and Green Room card stock with Color Drops STAX Die-namics and used them as a base for my sentiment.

For the sentiment, I cut Twice the Thanks from Black Licorice card stock, covered it with Glossy Accents, and adhered it to the color drop element. The rest of the sentiment is from Kind Thanks and was stamped with Versamark on Black Licorice card stock and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. Foam mounting tape was used to create dimension for the sentiment strip and color drop element.

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 CTD458 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd458 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, including our incredibly talented August Guest Designer, Sheri Gilson!
