Color Throwdown Challenge #261


Hello everyone....it's Wednesday again and time for another Color Throwdown Challenge!!! Vickie is our hostess with the mostess this week and she has picked some beautiful colors for us to play with!!! 


My card features a stamp by Impress...the moon and snow were masked and them Marine Mist and Pacific Point were brayered on the sky. The moon was colored in with a Copic and Marina Mist was lightly sponged on the snow. The scene was layered on Marina Mist and kiwi Kiss cardstocl and a circle stencil was used the add a little color to the background with Marina Mist and Kiwi Kiss. The sentiment is from the Elements of style set by stampin Up! The ribbon and twine finish it off. 

I wanted the sky to look peaceful but I'm afraid it looks a little eery....I should have added a bat and made it a Halloween card...LOL!!!

Remember, you don't have to use the exact colors...use what you have as long as they are close to the challenge colors and be sure to add CTD261 to the keywords section when you upload your card to an on-line gallery so we can find your work!!!
