Color Throwdown #424




Happy New Year! Welcome to the first Color Throwdown Challenge of 2017. It's Amy here as this week’s hostess, and I’ve chosen a favorite color combination of mine - black, green and hot pink. Remember we use generic colors, and please feel free to add in neutrals as you wish.


One lucky participant will be randomly chosen to join us as Guest Star Stamper on Wednesday, January 18, 2017 for Color Throwdown #426.  That person will be announced on Tuesday, January 10th.  Good luck and thanks for playing along!
