Blessings–Color Throwdown Challenge #460

CTD460_2017sep13


Hello! Welcome to a brand new Color Throwdown Challenge! Today’s colors are brought to you by Wanda and are based on this cool inspiration piece!

I thought way out of the box on this one and I really love how it turned out! I was kind of inspired by a piece of art I saw online and just ran with it. I’m using a Sweet Tooth card stock card base and my leaves are done using Ranger Watercolor Paper, Falling Leaves Die-namics, and Peerless Watercolors. I just started adding color with a waterbrush until I was happy and stopped. After they were dry, I swiped the edges of the leaves across a Delicata Gold Pigment Ink pad for a little accent and shaped them a bit before adhering in a wreath shape.

The die cut sentiment, from Blessed & Blessings Die-namics, was cut once from Brushed Gold Card Stock and twice from Sweet Tooth card stock, adhered together in a stack, and popped up on foam mounting tape across the “wreath”.

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 CTD460 so we can see your beauty all in one place, and use #ctd460 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 September Guest Designer, Tammy Hershberger!
