The countdown is on for the current challenge CTD#453! and this is a friendly reminder that you still have time to join us. The linky will close on Monday, July 31, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, so there is still time.

Color Throwdown #453

Hello, everyone!  Broni here and I’m excited that it’s my turn to host the Color Throwdown this week.

With summer in full swing, I'm sure a lot of the country is in full heat & humidity mode, so I thought these refreshing beverages might be a suitable inspiration for us.

The generic colors are Raspberry Pink, Yellow, and Green.  For your paper-crafted creation, please use just these 3 colors with any neutrals you'd like to add.

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the keyword CTD453, and please use #ctd453 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites.  When linking your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please use a specific link to your individual blog post and not just a generic link to your blog.  Also, please be sure to check out all the "rules" in the right sidebar.  We do not accept totally digital creations, only digital images printed, colored, and added to your paper-crafted project will be allowed.

We're looking forward to seeing your creations this week!  Check out what the amazing designers have uploaded for your inspiration.

Color Throwdown #452

Hi, everyone! It's time for a new challenge! Barbara here with your colors for this week. Remember, we're using generic colors, so as long as you use the color values shown: green, yellow, red, and aqua, you'll be good...the color police won't come after you--this is all about having fun! And, feel free to incorporate any other neutrals you need in your design, as well. 

If you upload to a public gallery, please use the key words CTD452, and please use #ctd452 and #colorthrowdown on social media sites. Also, when linking up your card using the linky tool at the bottom of the post, please link to your specific post, not a generic link to your blog--all of the "rules" are in the right sidebar, so check 'em out to be sure. Importantly, though, 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.
