Because You’re the Best–CTD #394

CTD394_2016may25

Hi, everyone! Welcome to this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge! This week’s hostess is our newest team member, Amy Rohl and she has chosed a very sweet inspiration piece from white to draw her colors.

I started with a Sweet Tooth card stock base. Then, on some Ranger Watercolor Paper, I stamped Lined Chevron Background with Versamark and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder before popping it up on foam mounting tape on the base.

Next I added a strip of Ripe Raspberry card stock stamped with Ripe Raspberry dye ink and Lace Background, adhered to the card front on top of some rolled up silver thread. Next is some Gravel Gray card stock stamped with Versamark and a sentiment from Because You, then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder before being popped up on foam. The die from Because You was cut from Blueberry card stock three times, adhered together for strength, and also popped up on foam. I finished off with some silver 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 CTD394 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd394 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 May Guest, Jill Hawkins!
