Color Throwdown542-Party

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara ishere with our colors for this week. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: coral pink, blue, green, and kraft 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 CTD542, and please use #ctd542 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. 

Hello CTD fans! As  much as I wanted to pull out one of the many gorgeous wreath stamps I own, I just had to color up this cutie-pie-party-monkey from the NEW Reverse Confetti Release. The stamp set is called Party Animal. I used the new Sweet Stripes for my background and created a festive shaker with the new See Through Tag Confetti Cut in Sand card stock. 

I cut the word party from the Party & Celebrate Confetti Cuts three times from Premium Polar White card stock and then sponged on Coral ink onto one set of the letters for the perfect shade. I glued the letters together to create the dimension on my sentiment. 

Here is a closer look at the adorable party monkey from the Party Animal stamp set. I colored him up with Copics and then used the Party Animal Confetti Cuts to cut him out. Easy, peasy! I love the fun colors of this sequin mix from Stampin' Up! I tied on some natural hemp twine and called this one done! 

For more inspiration, check out the design team members' creations below, and get inky! We can't wait to see what you come up with this week.

Reverse Confetti Feb. Color Challenge {Friends Like you}

*** Please Scroll Down for my Sweet Sunday Sketch Card**

It's the middle of the month, so that means it's time for another Reverse Confetti Color Challenge. I think you're going to love it. I do. I colored up Freida Fox for my card today. I love coloring her grey, so I did to fit the challenge this month. 

I stamped her on x-press blending cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momento ink (my go to ink for Copic coloring).

 I used lots of blues to color up her dress, playing up the light blue from the challenge.  I decided to only use the top  part of her and tucked her behind the strip along the bottom. 

I used the scalloped frame from Love Note to stamp my sentiment. Check it!

 I stamped it in Sweet tooth Pigment ink and embossed it with white embossing powder to really make it stand out on the grey cs. I also decided to add a row of chevrons with one of the small border stamps from Paper Crane. 

A trio of buttons and a giant hemp twine bow finished this pretty friend card. I'm sending this one out to a dear friend, Just Because. 

Here is the color challenge graphic:

MFT color challenge 2 {time to celebrate}

Greetings! I couldn't help but play along with the second MFT color palette challenge.  For one, it included kraft, and second it was so bright and cheery, just what my crafty heart desired during these cooooold wintry days that seem to be never ending. The challenge is to use: Kraft, Lemon Drop, and Blu Raspberry. 

I used a few of my favorite Blueprints, which really helped this card come together rather quickly. I love that. I used the Natural ink to stamp the Typewriter text background stamp on Kraft cs. 

I used the cool Celebratory Die-namics and the stamp set that coordinates, Celebrate Big. 

I really love all the stitch and pierced details included on the Die-namics. I used alot of pieces from the Blueprints 3. I love the flowers included in this set. I added a polka dot detail with the Large Scale Backgrounds. The Lemon Drop strip is from Blueprints 9. 

I also FINALLY used those gorgeous leaves. I have had them in my stash for months. They are from Layered Leaves Die-namics. The outline dies are my favorite. I needed a little contrast in the color scheme, so I cut those from Sno Cone cs. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

It's RC Color Challenge Time {Fly}

This one snuck up on me. I'm glad I found some time yesterday to squeeze out this card. Creativity is a funny thing.....some days it just happens. I'm glad it did with this card. I loooove how it turned out AND I really LOVE how many different Reverse Confetti Stamps I was able to use. 

I started with the background and pulled out some polka dots from Celebrate Cake, Spookie Cuties, and Happy Harbor (the little bubble trio....just ink up a single dot). When creating a background, remember to start with your largest stamp first and then fill in with the smaller images. I always take a step back (or hold my paper at arms length) to see where some "holes" need to be filled. You can also try squinting to see where you may need to fill in a dot here or there. 

I used my color spritzer tool to add a few splatters of turquoise. I'm so glad I hoard HOLD onto things. This tool has come back into "style". I believe Tim Holtz just released one to use with is distress markers. 

I cut an orange strip of scallops from the Double edge Scallop die that RC just released. I used the smallest ones and have them peeking out from the edge. I also stamped some Sno Cone stripes from So Stripey,  along the right side for another bit of added interest. 

And the show stopper is my sentiment tag. I cut a Sno Cone large tag from Tag Me Confetti Cuts. I used the Paper Crane stamp set for the sentiment. I stamped those in a darker turquoise ink and then stamped a few open triangles in Orange Fizz ink. I thought the new Arrow Die would be great on this card. It kind of fit the theme.....arrows fly, after all. I tied on some orange bakers twine and added a trio of white sequins.
