Color Throwdown Countdown #472

The countdown is on for the current challenge CTD#472! and this is a friendly reminder that you still have time to join us. The linky will close on Monday, December 11, at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, so there is still time.

Good luck and we hope to see you in the gallery--remember, by participating in this challenge, you just might be the lucky, randomly chosen guest designer for our next challenge a week later!

Color Throwdown #472

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: black, red, and gray, 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 CTD472, and please use #ctd472 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. 

For more inspiration, check out the other design team members' creations below, and get inky! We can't wait to see what you come up with this week.

Color Throwdown #471

Hello everyone! Amy Rysavy here as your host for week's Color Throwdown challenge! This picture of funky pillows caught my eye and I thought it would make for a really fun color challenge! The colours for this week are to use black, grey, gold 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 CTD471, and please use #CTD471 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!
