Color Throwdown Countdown #501

The countdown is on for the current challenge CTD#501! and this is a friendly reminder that you still have time to join us. The linky will close on Monday, July 16, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, so there is still time.

Good luck and we hope to see you in the gallery--remember, by participating in this challenge, you just might be the lucky, randomly chosen guest designer for our next challenge a week later!

Color Throwdown #501

Hello everyone! Amy Rysavy here as your host for week's Color Throwdown challenge! I still find myself obsessed with the color combo of grey and yellow together so when I saw this room picture I HAD to use it for inspiration this week! The colours for this week are to use grey, yellow, kraft, and white. Remember we just use generic colors (so any brand/type/whatever you have will work) and you can always feel free to add in neutrals (white/black/etc) to make your creation pop!

If you upload your creation to a public gallery, please use the keyword CTD501, and please use #CTD501 and #colorthrowdown on social media so we can find your gorgeous creations!  When linking up your creation using the linky tool below, please be sure to link your specific post, not a general link to your blog.  All of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, and you can always check there to be sure!

One last detail to remember, 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.

Here's some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the CTD team to get y'all started!

Color Throwdown #500

The Color Throwdown Challenge is hitting a big milestone today as we reach the 500th challenge mark!  Woohoo!!!  I think that calls for some fireworks, since it's also the 4th of July in the U.S.!

I fell in love with the inspiration photo and thought the navy, blush, gold and white color combo of the cake would make some great celebratory cards! Remember, we are using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown, you will be good!  As always, feel free to incorporate any neutrals to your design if you like!

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the keyword CTD500, and please use #ctd500 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 them out if you are in doubt!  One last detail to remember: 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.

Since it's a new month, we also have a new guest designer to announce and you don't want to miss her fabulous creations!  Welcome to Kathy Schweinfurth of Stamps At Play!  

Happy creating!
