Color Inspiration #12

061908-color12.jpg

Hi all!

This Color Inspiration Challenge photo was borrowed from a photo shared over at Design Sponge of some new items at the MoMA Store. Isn't that place mat so cool looking?

Anyhow, have fun with this mostly neutral color palette. I added a some pop of green in there for a bit more color. All in all, I think ya'll could make some very sophisticated creations with these colors.

Good luck!

SO YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE?

Make a creation (card, scrapbook, etc.) of your own using the above colors. Then take a picture or scan your creation. Upload your digital image to your blog or in an online gallery, and then come back to kwernerdesign blog to share! Leave a comment on this entry with a link to your creation. Please link to webpages, not directly to image files.

Who's in the Round-up?
After the deadline, I'll share my creation with you as well as 20 submitted creations, consisting of ten randomly selected entries and ten of my favorites. Pictures emailed to me will not be considered for the Round-up.

When does your creation have to be submitted?
Saturday, June 21 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.

Am I correct in guessing that So Saffron might be one of Ms Kristina's favourite colours?! It has been in all of the 4 last inspirations and 7 of them in total! Thing is I can't actually see it in the latest inspiration pic. I know you added the green in for a pop of colour, but I'm stumped about the yellow...

Anyways, I'm just waffling...! Going to try and get to this one in the next day or so :)

I really need to stock up on these retiring colors! This tablecloth is so pretty. My card has elements of so many cards I saw today on line. Thanks for the inspiration, all! Here goes:

This was the quickest challenge card I ever made. Think the scanner cropped a bit on top & bottom, making it look a bit squat, but it is a 4.25 x 5.5 card! Here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/952582?cat=11785

I got permission from my wonderful hubby to stay up a little later to work on this color inspiration since I am leaving to go out of town early tomorrow and may not be back until after the deadline. Thanks for letting me play and I hope you like it!

Hi - not so sure about the colour palette this week, but it is certainly challenging! I took my inspiration from the 'sahara' colour...

This was very out of the box for me. I'm not usually a neutral kind of gal! The colors seemed very beachy to me, so I decided to make a beach hat:

I actually had to watch your MACM video to learn how to tie a knot. I am probably going to have to watch that everytime because it turned out so well.

So glad I found the time to participate! I found these colors a bit harder to work with since none of them "popped" for me!

Sarah:

I LOVE these colors!!! So Saffron is my favorite color ever so it was a challenge to use so little of it, but I wanted to stick with mostly neutrals like the inspiration piece. Thanks again for CI's - I look forward to them every week, even if I don't have the time to do one!
