My Little Creative Escape: Color Throwdown 392-Let's Celebrate

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge with The Color Throwdown team! Barbara is our hostess with your colors for this week. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: cobalt blue, Kraft, light gray, and white, you'll be good...the color police won't come after you--this is all about having fun! And, feel free to incorporate any other neutrals you need in your design, as well.

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD392, and please use #ctd392 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog--all of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check 'em out to be sure. For more inspiration, check out the other design team members' creations below, and get inky! We can't wait to see what you come up with this week.

The new Boxes 'n Balloons stamp set and matching Boxes 'n Balloons Confetti Cuts were still on my desk from the Reverse Confetti May Release that just happened 3 days ago.

I adore those balloons. I inked one up with Lush Lagoon ink and topped it with a kraft bow.

Along the bottom I used the rounded die from Edgers Confetti Cuts. I cut that from some kraft gingham paper and popped up the whole panel with some foam dimensions. I also was excited to use the cool new Falling Confetti Confetti Cut. What a great way to add some texture to any festive card. I added in some grout grey confetti pieces and then left some of the holes empty so the kraft colored card stock shows through. Here is a closer look.

For more inspiration, check out the other design team members' creations below, and get inky! And don't forget to join us over on the CTD Blog. We can't wait to see what you create with these new colors.
