Color Throwdown #451


Hello everyone! Amy Rysavy here as your host for week's Color Throwdown challenge! I've chosen this awesome image of pastel balloons as the inspiration for this challenge. The colours for this week is to use dark pink, pale pink, green 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 CTD451, and please use #CTD451 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 #450


Hello Color Throwdown fans!  It's Wanda here with this week's CTD Challenge!  I'm gearing up for a vacation week at the beach soon, so this inspiration photo caught my eye with these colors: dark red, blue, golden yellow and white. The colors are generic and it's fine if you want to add in other neutrals.  

Once you’ve finished your card or other paper crafting project using the colors, add a direct link to your creation using the linky tool at the bottom of the post.  And, don’t forget to use the keyword CTD450 if you upload your project to an online gallery. You can use the keywords #ctd450 and #colorthrowdown if you upload to any social media sites (yes, we're on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!).  All of the challenge "rules" are in the right sidebar in case you have any questions.  


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.

We're thrilled to have the talented Tracey McNeely joining us as guest designer for the month!  Be sure to stop by her blog - In My Creative Opinion - and say hello!


Before you head off to create, here’s some inspiration from our talented team to get you started.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you create with these fun colors!
