Color Inspiration #2
Hi everyone! This week's Color Inspiration Challenge comes from HGTV.com! I found a interesting and soothing room at their website and fell in love with the colors! Perfect colors for a baby card, right?
Translated into Stampin' Up! colors, it might look like:
Groovy Guava, Blush Blossom, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi
Unfortunately, this color palette uses two SU! In Colors... sorry all you international folks. Forgive me, please! Do the best you can with colors you have on hand. You might try Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, and Certainly Celery.
Here's my card (4.25" x 4.25"):
Join me in the challenge by making a paper craft creation using these colors as inspiration. Then leave a comment on this entry with a link to your card. You'll have to upload a picture of your card to your blog, splitcoaststampers.com, flickr.com, wherever you'd like. Just copy and paste the web address to your card in your comment.
Links left in comments by 6:00 pm MDT Thursday night will be included in the Color Inspiration #2 Round-up! So get workin'!

This is so exciting. It took me quite a while to find time last color challenge to get around to it, but hopefully not so this time. Even if I don't get it posted, please know I am inspired to create!
What pretty colours. I think I'll have to have a go at this one - as for in-colours - it's only 14 more sleeps until Australia gets the in-colours!
What such a pretty colour scheme and your card is so cute!
I just love the way you present, gather and show us these color inspirations! This is one of my favorite blogs - keep up the interesting work!

How 'bout translated into a bedroom for my girls! Ok, maybe minus the tacky valances! So pretty!
this card is FABULOUS. It's simple yet adorable. I love the dots on the bottom. Is that a stamp? Wow. I will have to try this color challenge. Thanks for posting!!

Your inspirations are amazing. I love how easily you process them into paper art. And your cards really are artistic. They are simple, striking and adorable (for lack of a better adj.) !! This one is just plain cute!
Here's mine:

Love the room you chose! And your card is super as well!
oh, thank you, thank you! I've been puzzling over a card for the last two days trying to fit everything into place. It has a die cut star and "sections" of patterned paper just like yours. This card is exactly the inspiration I needed. Now I can finish it up! Thanks!! :)
Your stuff: So GREAT! I can't do cards/scrap pages like you do, but you inspire me (Thank YOU!) to give it a go & then I at least have put something in the scrapbook! I think I need more PP.
Here's my attempt
Be well,
Amy.
SO CUTE!!! Wish I had a baby girl shower to go to!
What a fabulous inspiration piece and card! I LOVE those colors and the way you used them in your card!
I LOVE the inspiration room! Here is my submission:

Thanks, Kristina - looking forward to next week's challenge already!
I love your picture and the card! This is my first ever challenge that I'm participating in. It was tons of fun. My camera settings are off so the colors are not as true as they should be. Thanks for the challenge!!! Here's the link;

I love this color combo and couldn't wait to play with it. I'm a new SU demo, so I don't have all the colors but I think I got pretty close and I love the results. I used Certainly Celery, Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal, and Pretty in Pink. Here's the link:

This was a super fun challenge, but boy, did it EVER take me forever to figure out how to work in the "Groovy Guava" type color. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out though. Thanks for the challenge, Kristina!

I wish my room looked like this when I was a little girl... or even now! It's amazing how different all the cards are even though we all used the same colors! I made a couple, www.stampingredhead.com
What a fun idea! I think I might be late but thought I would post anyway. Thanks for all of the inspiration.
Smiles.

I know I'm super late, but I just LOVE your color combos and just had to play. I really think you need a keyword for SCS, like KWCI plus the number of the challenge. I'd love to be able to find everyone's creations.
