My Little Creative Escape: Color Throwdown 462-Sharing in Sorrow

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara is here with our colors for this week's Color Throwdown. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: rust, green, orange, and aqua, 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 CTD462, and please use #ctd462 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. Importantly, though, no digital designs--only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed. Totally digital designs will be removed from the link up.

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.

Sadly, I had to create a sympathy card for a dear friend who lost her FIL this past week. I used the Banner in Bloom stamp set to create the pretty fall color blooms. I colored them up with copics. I used the Banner in Bloom Confetti Cuts to cut them out and mounted them around the sentiment with some foam dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Midnight ink and tied on some natural linen twine. The background was created with Distress inks and some ink smooshing. I mounted the finished panel onto an Iced Aqua card base.
