Color Inspiration #12
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?

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 :)
Now they are different colours! Will have to give it a try! Thanks Jo
I am SO going to miss Wasabi when it's gone!
Here's mine...

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!

http://columbuselliotts.blogspot.com/2008/06/color-challenge-9.html
Here's my take on your challenge. I wish I would have done the green as the base but oh well :)
http://stampingdiva.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/06/a-little-mojo-c.html
Hi - not so sure about the colour palette this week, but it is certainly challenging! I took my inspiration from the 'sahara' colour...

Great colors! This is my first challenge and I enjoyed it. Thanks for the inspiration.
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:

Hi Kristina!
I love your Blog - always checking on your stuff... This the first time I am taking part in your color Challenges! I had much fun!
Here's my card http://www.stempelkunst.com
Bianca from Germany!
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.
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/952986?cat=500&ppuser=94443
I tried this earlier, but am not sure if I did it right. So here is my second try. This is my first time and I am quite new at this. Thanks for the inspiration.
http://stampindooly.typepad.com/renees_stampin_place/color_challenges/index.html
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!
http://www.mycreativeramblings.com/stamps_and_smiles/2008/06/two-birds-one-card.html
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!

FYI Kristina, the link to the color swatch is broken. I changed the "0618" part of the link to "0619" and I got to the JPG.

Here is my submission for this color inspiration. I kind of struggled to find the "right" image for the card. When I figured it out, the card fell into place really quick!

Hope you like it!
Definitely not sophisticated and elegant. I'll stick with cute. Here's my take: http://www.scrapbit.com.
Great colors and it was fun doing this one. Have a great weekend!!!
Okay, here's my submission - although hopefully there's room for creative expression! LOL
