Color Throwdown 192


It's Wednesday and that means it's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge!  Tammy has some great spring/summer colors for us and we'd love to have you play along!


  I went with the sketch for the Card Patterns Challenge and found papers from the Sweet Threads pad by BasicGrey that included these colors.  I colored two flower images with Copics then layered them, popped with foam dots and added some Stickles.  The seam binding was hand-dyed using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (English Ivy).

If you don't have the exact colors, feel free to substitute colors that are close! Make a card or paper crafted project and post it to your blog or online gallery. Then use the direct link and link it to the Color Throwdown blog using the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of the CTD post. If you post to an online gallery, please use CTD192 as your keyword.
So...are you ready to be inspired?? Check out what the other CTD designers, along with our talented May guestie, Kittie Caracciolo, have created by clicking HERE!

I love how you combined these colors on your flower and background, Wanda! I didn't think they were easy colors to work with and you really came up with something beautiful.
