Challenge Rules

The Color Throwdown challenges are intended to be fun for everyone. Please use whatever colors you have on hand that are most similar. Combining challenges is fine, but entries must be a new creation, and the colors of your creation should primarily consist of only the Throwdown colors. Neutrals (black, gray, white, Kraft, cream, brown) are free, so use them as you need to complete your design; however, if they are included in the challenge palette they must be used in your creation. We also appreciate a link back to The Color Throwdown site whether you are posting to your blog or another forum. A direct link to your card via Inlinkz is required. General blog links or cards not following the challenge colors could be deleted. No digital projects--only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed. Links must be in place by 6:00 p.m. EST on the Monday immediately following each week's challenge to be considered for Featured Stamper. Thank you for playing!
