Color Throwdown #43

Hi everybody! Broni here! It’s my week to host the Color Throwdown challenge and I've chosen a color combo that I believe is classic and should be very easy to work with!





I hope you’ll play along with us! It’s simple. Use these colors (or whatever you have that is close) to create a card or project. Upload it to your blog and/or online gallery (please use keyword CTD43), then enter the DIRECT LINK TO YOUR CARD into the Mister Linky section of today’s post.


Don't forget, we've just changed things up. (See this post.) You could be our next Featured Stamper with a chance at being our Guest Designer for the entire month of July!

No pressure! Just have fun creating!!

LeAnne Pugliese - Wee Inklings

What a beautiful color combo! I had to substitute plum for the lavender, but the result looks close! Thanks for the opportunity to play along. Ladies, your samples are so inspiring and beautiful!!

These colours worked out great! I'm so happy I came across your challenge this week because I don't usually work with these colours. I had so much fun putting the card together. Thanks for hosting and picking such a neat colour combo. And thanks for stopping by my blog, too!

I've noticed Mr. Linky is having problems on a lot of blogs. I hope it doesn't last for too long. So here is my take on the challenge:
