Color Inspiration #7

042908-colors.jpg

Hi all!

Can you believe we're at the 7th Color Inspiration Challenge? Wow! Time flies when you're having fun, eh?

This week's CI Challenge comes to us from Restoration Hardware. Isn't that the most gorgeous bedding? LOVE it! I'm sure that all of you can come up with beautiful cards, pages, and other paper crafting items using this color combination as inspiration. For those who haven't joined us yet, feel free to jump in and share a card with us!

As usual, I'll share my card with you all when I post the Round-Up on Thursday night.

THE ROUND-UP

If you would like to be included in the Color Inspiration #7 Round-Up, leave a comment on this entry with a link to your card. A photo of your card may be on a blog or in an online gallery. Please link to webpages, not directly to image files.

Who's in the round-up?
20 cards total, consisting of ten randomly selected entries and ten of my favorites. :)

When does my card have to be submitted?
Thursday, May 1 at 7:00 pm MDT.

NOTE: Those who have websites and blogs, you are welcome to use the above graphic on your blog. For swatches only, you can download the image file by right clicking here (or control+click for my fellow Mac users) and saving the file to your computer. Then upload the swatch image to your blog.

Those are the best combo colors ever!! I just got some close to cocoa and soft sky a few days ago. I'd love to play.

Amy:

Ooooooh! This is my current favorite color combo!! I absolutely the Soft Sky with the browns!! I have been wanting to make a card to try to make the Round Up... but I've been in a stamping dry spell lately, and this week I'm going to be too busy. I just might try to fit time in to make a card tomorrow though.

Love your blog and am a huge fan of MACM!!!! I will beg again for a MACW or MACS though!! ;-) Once a week is just not enough!

Keep up the good, er...awesome...work!!!
