Color Inspiration #42

Thanks to a snow day here on Wednesday, I was able to take Kristina's Color Inspiration challenge right away. Isn't this hat and colour combo just adorable??

I needed a card for my niece's birthday and this challenge was perfect inspiration for a fun, sweet girly card. I hope she likes it!

The lighting wasn't that great (it was a dull snowy day after all!), so the letter 's' and brad in the flower look more yellow than green, but they are green. Thanks for looking!

Supplies: The yellow card and white card stock are both from mixed packs from Michaels. I think the rust patterned paper is from scenic route (it was in the scrap stash so I can't be sure!), the flowers are Prima, the brad is from Making Memories, the rub-on sentiment is from SU and I inked the edges with Colorbox chalk ink, the ribbon and letter are from wal-mart, and the darling gems are from Hero Arts.

Another Take on Kristina's Color Inspiration

I know I said yesterday that I'm not a huge fan of the orange/pink combo - and here I am using it two days in a row! I just liked the way my card turned out and I had this picture of mom and I that was just calling for the same color combination. So, here's Kristina's color inspiration #38 take 2:

Anyways gotta scoot, I'm babysitting two handsome little boys for my best friend tonight while her and her hubby go to dinner and while my hubby has a boys night watching the Barrett Jackson auction.

supplies: patterned paper & date sticker is scenic route, solid is SU! cardstock, ribbon from a jumbo pack from costco, flowers are prima, clip & brads are making memories, as are gems I think, and rub-on is from fancy pants design. The pen and ink are both unmarked :)

Color Inspiration #38

Well, this will be my first official submission into Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration challenge - and it was a bit of a challenge for me as I'm not a huge fan of orange or the orange/pink combo. I know, I know, some people love it. Anywhoo here's the inspiration source (love that mousepad!):


And my card:Even though I'm not a fan of the orange and pink combo, I liked how it turned out - simple & sweet.

Thanks for looking and Happy Friday!

Supplies: The cardstock and paper were from my scrap piles again, which are excellent for cardmaking, but not for tracking paper sources. The two flowers are from Prima, the orange brad is from Making Memories, the Birthday Wishes stamp is from Stampin' Up's 'sincere salutations' set, and the rub-on beneath the greeting is from Fancy Pants Design. It's hard to see in the picture but the greeting has also been embossed with Stampin' Up's iridescent ice powder. Edited: The ribbon is from a jumbo pack I picked up at costco.

Color Inspiration

This weekend, I decided to take a stab at Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration challenge for the first time. By the time I got around to it, it was past the submission deadline - but I still like it and thought I'd share it anyway :)

Here's the inspiration source from Kristina:

And here's my take on it:

Sorry, I didn't track the products on it ... the strips are from my scrap piles. The white cardstock might be Bazzill. The greeting stamp is from Stampin' Up and the rub-on might be from KC&Co. Not sure about the gems. Anyways, I hope you like it!
