Color Throwdown Challenge #831

Hello everyone!

Tammy here, hosting our my first challenge since re-joining the team last year. I'm so glad you're joining us today! Easter is right around the corner, and along with daffodils and crocuses, the tulips are in bloom! So today's inspiration comes from this beautiful photo I borrowed from someone I follow on Instagram. Aren't they gorgeous? Remember, we use generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown, you are all set! Feel free to incorporate any neutrals that you would like in your design.

If you upload your creation to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD831, and please use #ctd831 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of this post, please use a direct link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog. All the rules are on the rules page up top, so check them out if you're unsure. No digital designs will be allowed - only digital images that are printed off and colored. Be sure to check out some great inspiration from the talented design team below! We can't wait to see what you create!

Happy Easter! He is Risen!
