My Little Creative Escape: Color Throwdown 472-Happy Holidays Bear

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara is here with our colors for this week. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: black, red, and gray, 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 CTD472, and please use #ctd472 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.

I am using Lil' Inker Designs stamps and dies today. The Rustic Christmas set is my favorite (sorry it is sold out, currently). I cut out the bear and his sweet little hat with the Rustic Christmas dies. I water colored the bear and added a red sentiment from Festive Florals.

I cut out a rectangle panel with the Silly Stitched Rectangles and I stamped the background pattern from Unstoppable in black ink. I white embossed some white snowflakes from rustic Christmas onto some Stone card stock and used the tag from Silly Stitched Squares. . I finished off the card details with a little red twine bow.
