Color Throwdown challenge #6
Yay! It’s time for another color throwdown challenge! It’s already #6! And this week, Tracy decided to mix things up a bit and throw down 5 colors for us to work with! How fun is that?!! Here they are:
What a great combination, huh!? I love the mix of warms and cools!
So guess what kind of card I made?? A Halloween card! Surprise, surprise! I’m having so much fun!
I used the Halloween Block from Rubbernecker Stamp Co., but instead of using it as one image, I cut it into 4 separate images.
Each of the little focal images were stamped on shimmery white cardstock, colored, and cut out to be mounted on foam tape on top of each square. These were attached to a pumpkin piece of cardstock which was stamped with the Grand Spider Web stamp.
There are also a soft sky textured layer, a distressed Making Memories Halloween DP layer, a celery layer, and a piece of celery ribbon all on the pumpkin square card base. The card is topped with 2 buttons tied together with a very narrow ribbon and attached to the center with a couple of glue dots.
Well, I did it! I got all 5 colors in, but it was tougher than I thought it would be.
You should try it! Complete a card using these colors, upload it to your blog or gallery (with the keyword CTD6) and leave a comment with a direct link to your card in THIS POST. I’m really anxious to see what you create and if you thought it was tougher or easier to have 5 colors instead of the usual 3.

Broni, this is FABULOUS and so so AWESOME!
I love how you used the colors Broni. Gosh, I have that stamp and it hasn’t seen ink yet. Not sure I can do it justice after seeing this…………
This is so cute! I love the images separated like that! Great colors-so much fun!
Oh Broni, this is wonderful! I love all the elements you’ve got going here. I am SO wanting to stamp fall/Halloween stuff but I am reining myself in! I feel like there is still so much summer left! But I think you’ve pushed me over the edge!
