Color Inspiration #13
Hi all! This week's color inspiration was borrowed from
Tracy Porter. Specifically, this is the
Rosewater Bedding. Isn't that gorgeous?
A special thanks goes out to one of the blog buddies, Amy, who alerted me to this site! Thanks, Amy!
Anyhow, I've had a few questions about participating in the challenges each week, but one in particular keeps coming up. Heads up! You asked,
"Do I have to use the specific colors?"
No. If you have the Stampin' Up! colors it makes it a bit easier on your part, but if you don't have them, just use a similar color.
Hope that clears things up! :) Anyway, here are the usual details...
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?
Thursday, June 26 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.

Do the images have to be SU to participate?
Love those colors! You are going to have some really beautiful submissions. I can already tell!
Hi Kristina, really love your choice of colors this week. Here's my card:

Hey,
Have to say these challenges are lots of fun. Tried to make the card like the doona cover a bit, but think i need a bit more wild wasabi. Anyway it was lots of fun.
Hope you like

These colours work so beautifully together, but thanks for the inspiration because I possibly wouldnt have tried them if not for this challenge. Thanks!

Hi Kristina,
This is my first try at your challenges. Not my best effort but best I could do with my available time! LOL! (New baby in the house!)

I really want to have a stab at this one but I don't know if I'll have time with so much work on.. hopefully I will though!
This was a hard one for me but here's my card.

Another fabulous challenge from Kristina! LOVE IT
Hi there! This is my first contribution to your wonderful color inspiration challenge! I have been a stalker of you blog for some time now, content in watching from the bleachers, but these colors! WOW! I HAD to make a card! So here it is : http://projetmoyen-orient.blogspot.com/
WOW - that was a hard one (I thought). I went around and around with it, but it's hard to design and watch "So You Think You Can Dance" at the same time. Well, here it is.

Thanks for another great challenge - I think I'm addicted :-)

Hi Kristina,
I just wasn't happy with my first card, so I took it apart and tried again. I think you will like the second one a lot more.

I love your handwriting, and that you write directly on your cards. I'd like to try this myself, but I always chicken out! Are there any tips you could share on ways to improve my handwriting to where its "cardworthy"?

Hey Kristina!
Well first of all I just wanted to say that because of finding your blog I got inspired to get back in touch with my creative side and have since started making my own greeting cards! I have always wanted to submit a card into one of your challenges but have always been so busy that I have missed the deadlines! But this time I had to play along because I felt like I had the PERFECT scrap of paper for this certain challenge, so I made the time for it :) Enjoy, and I would love to hear what you think of it.

Keep up the great work! And thanks for the inspiration!

Love the challenges! I am just figuring out how to upload the images and get them posted here. The colors this week are yummy and make me sad.
