Color Inspiration #9

051308-colorinspiration9.jpg

Hi all! Before I forget, remember to check out the final part of my Questions & Answers video... I posted it right before I posted this entry. :)

This week's CI Challenge comes to us from marthastewart.com. I was looking through the home decorating section and came upon this photo. :)

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

THE ROUND-UP

If you would like to be included in the Color Inspiration #9 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 15 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.
