Color Inspiration #5
Hi all! It's time for another color inspiration! I hope you enjoy this one. :)
These pillows are from Pottery Barn and I just love the colors! So spring like! I just loved it! I am particularly drawn to the green and yellow--must be the hope that warm weather will come quicker!
Anyhow, here's the inspiration photo and the Stampin' Up! colors are listed below that.

Translated into Stampin' Up! colors:

Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Close to Cocoa
I'll be sure to post my card using this color combination in this week's round-up.
If you would like to be included in the Color Inspiration #5 Round-Up, get crackin'! This time, I'm going to include the first 10 posted, and also my top 10! So there will be a total of 20 cards in the round-up. I want to see your best work! You have two days to leave a comment on this entry with a link to your creation. Post your comment by 8:00 pm on Thursday.
Please make sure to include the http:// in the address to your creation. That tells my blogging software to make it a link. Thanks!

Just sending in my creation. I didn't have the chocolate color so it might not count. It's fun to try anyway :0) Love your blog!
Yvonne
p.s. I'm not sure if I'm sending it right, but my creation is posted on my blog.
Awesome color choice this week. I just may have make more than one card. Here is mine: http://rhondapalmer.typepad.com/my_weblog/
I love the colors, so springy. I have my submission ready to go, but I may make more with this fun combo!
Love your blog, keep it up!

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the inspiration. I had fun making this card...and thinking about it kept me occupied on a bus trip today.

Sam.
I have been brave this time and I have had a go at this - I am in Gibraltar so the colours are as close as I can get them!
My entry can be found on my blog here: http://craftysally.blogspot.com/
Hope you like it!
Thanks for the great color challenge! It provided great inspiration for me!
Hugs from Morocco!

Yeah! These are the colors that I wanted my house to turn out in ... but, alas, we're not quite there.
I may have missed it this time. I'm submitting one I already had done up with Chocolate Chip instead of Close to Cocoa since I am so rushed today.
I love this color combo and use it quite often, which is why I had this card already.
Smiles-

Hi Kristina!
Wow--cool colors! This has been a challenge in more than one way! It's my first upload to SCS. Anyway, here's the link:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/885658?cat=500&ppuser=15082
I know I used Chocolate Chip instead of Cocoa, but I didn't have any at the time.
Thanks for the great ideas!
Lori
I'm so glad I stumbled across your Color Inspiration challenge today! It was exactly what I needed to get the creativity-machine running! I combined it with the sketch challenge on SCS today! Thanks for the fun!

Hi Everyone
Well, it's time for the Color Inspiration again. Came fast - I know I'm probably #23, but maybe you would consider this card in the top 10 of your favs.
Here it is:
http://lindamartinelli.typepad.com
MAN! I am not even close to the first 10! What can I say, I brought the older 2 kids to school, got a snack for the 2 year old & THEN (9:30 am here) saw the Inspiration ... lesson learned, do chores AFTER checking Kristina's Blog. LOL.
Did have fun putting it together. Thanks, Kristina for your weekly motivation.

Thanks for another great color challenge! I also like your new "rules". I can't always get to stamping right away, but this keeps it exciting :) Here is my take--I wish you could see the glitter on the frosting better, but oh, well! Enjoy!
http://stamptacularstuff.blogspot.com/2008/04/artfully-ila-sketch-meets-kwerner-color.html
What a fabulous color combo! I know I'm not in the top 25, but I wanted to post anyway. Here's my card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/886111?cat=12244
Love your color inspirations. Keep 'em comin'!

Great inspiration. I had a lot of fun with this one. Here's my card:
http://sanisi.blogsome.com/2008/04/16/funky-birthday-card/
Okay, so I laughed out loud last night when I saw your color inspiration. I made a card a week ago using exactly these colors. Does it count if I made it a week early? The colors in the picture are a bit off, sadly...late night picture in the basement. Ick!

This is my first kwernerdesign challenge entry too!
http://stamphappythoughts.com/IMG0004.jpg
Hi, this is my first time trying this so forgive me it's a little wonky. I didn't have any close to cocoa so I used chocolate chip instead, hope that's okay. Thanks for the inspiration, love your blog!
Pick Me! Pick Me! :-) Can I tell you that I am in LOVE with your color challenges? These colors are so sweet! Love them! Thanks for the inspiration!
http://kadeemorrisondesigns.blogspot.com/2008/04/one-of-kind.html
What great colors - perfect for a bridal shower card I needed to make (the wedding colors are blue and brown with yellow accents). Here's the link to my card: http://jentapler.blogspot.com/2008/04/kristina-werner-color-inspiration-5.html
This was a fun color combo. I accidentally used Chocolate Chip instead of Close to Cocoa. I guess that's what I get for not taking the laptop down to the studio with me. Anyway, here's mine.
http://stampinheather.blogspot.com/2008/04/color-inspiration.html
fun stuff- hope you pick mine!!!

Thank you so much for the color challenge; I had so much fun! Only problem is that when "close to cocoa" or "chocolate chip" are involved, I absolutely crave chocolate ALL DAY LONG! I'm going to raid the cupboards for some kind of chocolate right now...
Here's my card.
This is new territory for me. My blog has only been up and running since yesterday!!! I haven't even had the chance to finish it and add links yet. You will be the first one I add, I just love your site!!!
Kristina -
For your consideration and the consideration of the rest of your readers. Your color inspiration provided just enough motivation for me to bring this idea to paper. You can view my card at http://www.sweetpeasstory.blogspot.com/ .
Thanks!
As usual so many people have already made and posted cards (how do they do it so fast?!) :) But I am going to add mine to the list as well...hopefully you get a chance to have a glance!
http://mystampstuff.blogspot.com/2008/04/color-challenge-5.html
Hi Kristina!
Just sending in my card. I can't wait to see yours, I loved the woven ribbon last week! So cool! Hope you are feeling better.
Donna
Here's my version - not my usual colour choices but I was really happy with how it turned out & it's my first card creation posted on my new blog! Thanks for the inspiration.
My first color challenge ever! Thanks so much!
