My Little Creative Escape: Color Throwdown 477

Hi, everyone! Lori is our hostess for this week’s Color Throwdown challenge. The colors from this week's inspiration photo are aqua, orange, and gray. The colors are generic and it's fine if you want to add in other neutrals along with the challenge colors.

Once you’ve finished your card or other paper crafting project using the colors, add a direct link to your creation using the linky tool at the bottom of the post. And, don’t forget to use the keyword CTD477 if you upload your project to an online gallery. You can use the keywords #ctd477 and #colorthrowdown if you upload to any social media sites (yes, we're on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!). All of the challenge "rules" are in the right sidebar in case you have any questions. One last detail to remember, 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.

Before you head off to create, here’s some inspiration from our talented team to get you started. The CTD team is looking forward to seeing what you create with these fun colors!

I pulled out this fun pattern paper because it reminded me of the quilted look of the placemats in the inspiration photo. It's from the Cheerful & Kind paper pack. I know, it's not really aqua, but I loved it and it was in blue so I used it. I cut out the frame with the Hello & Thanks Label Confetti Cuts and Mist card stock.

I cut the stars from the Congratulations Confetti Cuts in Tangerine card stock and then added a birthday greeting from Sentiment Essentials. in Stormy ink. I love how the words are cut with a border around them, thanks to the matching Sentiment Essentials Confetti Cuts.
