Color Throwdown #423

Hello, Color Throwdown fans! It’s hard to believe that we have already reached the end of another year! This will be our last challenge of 2016, and we hope you’ll be able to play along with us!

It’s Broni here as this week’s hostess, and I’ve chosen a festive trio of colors for us to play with: Red, Hot Pink, and Lime Green!  Remember we just use generic colors, and please feel free to add in neutrals to help make your creation pop!

One lucky participant will be randomly chosen to join us as Guest Star Stamper on Wednesday, January 11, 2017 for Color Throwdown #425.  That person will be announced on Tuesday, December 20th.  Good luck!

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara here with your colors for this week.
