Color Inspiration #14

070108-colors.jpg

First off, I have to commend all of of you who guessed the musical artist of the song in my last video! You're all super smart. The song "To Love You More" gained popularity when Céline Dion included it on her 1997 album, Let's Talk About Love. However, I used the Lucia Micarelli version in my video. :) Thanks for all your guesses!

This week's color inspiration is actually sort of a stretch. ;) After the brown and white monochromatic card in yesterday's video, I found myself still in a monochromatic mood. AND when I saw these t-shirts over at johnnycupcakes.com, I just knew I had to borrow them for the challenge this week.

Aren't those the best shirts? I have one in brown that I wore at last year's Stampin' Up! convention in Denver and I love it! (BTW, I hate that photo of me... I was all tired and sweaty and not lookin' so hot... BUT I was having a ton of fun!)

Anyway, I couldn't leave ya'll hangin' with just a couple colors, so I threw in some Ruby Red and River Rock. But feel free to eliminate them if you want. Just a couple options for you. I guess the main challenge this week is to create a high-contrast, bold creation. Just like the t-shirt, find a bold/sassy phrase and let it "scream" at us!

Just have fun! I can't wait to see what you all create! :)

Oh, and sorry for the quick deadline. I wanted to get it in before the holiday weekend.

NOTE: I corrected the graphic above just a few minutes ago. I forgot to change the text to read "Whisper White" instead of "Going Gray," but it's correct now. If you used Going Gray before I corrected it, don't worry about it. For everyone else, Whisper White it is! Thanks, Savitri, for letting me know! :)

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, July 3 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.

Sarah:

I don't know what I'll do yet. Don't own Going Grey...I'll have to think about this one!!! So excited - I LOVE B&W - may choose to do the entire card in that! We'll see! Thanks for the challenge! :)

***Funny story: I was thinking "why is Kristina apologizing for the quick turnaround? it is only Tuesday! 2 days is pretty good for a CI." Then I realized that oh wait it is 2:35 on Wednesday morning - I just haven't been to sleep yet - so obvious by my post. =)

Hmmm what a shame, I dont have 3 of those colours! Sadly I wont participate in this challenge but do look forward to the next one, and look forward to seeing what everyone does with this challenge.

This is the first challenge I've done. I think I picked a hard color group to jump in with, but I'm pretty happy with the final result. Of course, I have about a million other ideas rolling around in my head, but it's time for bed.

My card can be found at:
http://deltasheets.livejournal.com/51203.html

All images and products are SU. The flowers are dyed with Ruby Red and River Rock. The centers on all the flowers are from the Pretties kit and the ribbon is pewter taffeta. The stamp image is from So Much.

Do you want all this information?? :)

Ooh, fab colours! I am going to do this. I missed the last one as I was expecting it to go on your blog last Friday for some reason...

I'm going to be annoying here... is one of the color white in the flower swatch or is it my computer? :) Eliminate huh... I can do that... I have no two gray tone anything I don't think. I JUST ordered some but it's not even shipped yet from SU.

Kristina says: Ooo! Thanks! I meant for it to read Whisper White. I've corrected it. :)

I thought this was going to be difficult for me but I really like the turn-out.

I didn't have any Basic Gray (too bad!), but I had Going Gray. And suprisingly enough to me, I didn't use any Whisper White.

Hope you like it!

This is my first color challenge!!! I love these colors. I should have read what you said in your post. My phrase doesn't exactly scream at you, but I like the graphis of the card.

I just love your challenges! I did one other one, but of course I couldn't submit it, as I had no online gallery. So, today, just for this, I joined SCS and learned to upload a photo. My daughter, who always does your challenges and has been picked a few times, helped me to link to your comment section so I could enter my card. I am so excited! You said "Just have fun!" I am having so much fun. I hope my high-contrast, sassy phrase just "screams" at you. Thanks for the challenge!

Happy Wednesday! This was a fun one for me. Black has been the color I have added to our home lately so it was a natural to add to a card. White is the easy part to add. The gray was a fun addition, too. Regal red was just the right color to make things "pop". How do you mix in River Rock though? I tried and came up with this. Dazzling diamonds and white gel pen made this one a favorite of mine.

Mine can be found here since I was having trouble load things at SCS today.

Thanks for ANOTHER great challenge. Too bad I can't read cause as I was scrolling to the bottom I saw some mention 'Ruby Red'. OOPS, I've used Regal Rose by mistake. Anyway this is my card for this week:

My second attempt, I never get these posted the first time (or so I think) and then it always post it twice even though it says it didn't work. SO! If this is a repeat- *sorry*!

This was a fun one (they all are) and I almost missed it! Whew!

Thanks KW!

I had a hard time with this. My first idea with foam stamps didn't go so well. My card would have been gigantic and after thinking about it, I came up with this: http://www.scrapbit.com/2008/07/03/65-and-kiva/
I have no gray and so I took that out. I am so glad the color combos are not two grays though... white is awesome :):)

I don't think my MIL will like seeing her age on it but hey, she's got a sense of humor and she doesn't look bad for her old age, ha!

Have a great 4th long weekend, girl. Thanks for the color inspiration!! Oh, your shirt looks super cute and I wish I was going to the convention. Hopefully next year!!

awesome colors, kristina! this is my first entry into one of your challenges, but i couldn't pass this one up!

i had to use kraft instead of river rock, though...i hope it still qualifies!

I love this color combo! It's a little more monochromatic than what I usually go for, but I still like it.
I had a lot of fun with this challenge. this is the first of your color combo challenges that i have participated in and it was a lot of fun. I made a 12x12 scrapbook page and you can find it at www.sweetpapertreats.wordpress.com
Thanks for the challenge!

Well, this is my first ever blog challenge, and it has been super challenging. I've seen so many other great crafters who have been inspired by your color combinations, so I wanted to join the fun. Of course (and I'm very bad about this), I didn't read all the instructions and notice that you were looking for the BOLD CONTRAST more than the color combo, and it's not at all sassy, but oh well. Karen Barber, who I got this technique from, does a MUCH better job at it, but practice makes perfect, and I have vowed to practice some more. Thank you to everyone who comes over to take a look. You can find my card here: http://sweetwishesinallyourcreations.blogspot.com/2008/07/kwerner-color-inspiration-14.html

I just love receiving your blog, but hadn't had time to do a challenge...that is until today! This morning, when I saw the colors you had chosen, I knew I had to take on the challenge. (I didn't have a blog, though, so I had to quickly head to blogger.com to create one.) Here's where you can find my "happy birthday sweetheart" card: http://jennierosedesigns.blogspot.com/.

I was going to participate in this challenge but as I only have Basic Black ink, and none of the paper, I might wait until next week. I'm on school holidays atm, so I will have plenty of time. Colours from the "bold brights" selection would be great **hint hint** LOL.

I know I am wwwaayyy late, and I firstly said that I wouldn't attempt this challenge, BUT I changed my mind and gave it a go.
I used only black, white and silver, but also included a pink shaded flower. Probably not within the challenge, but it's quite different to my normal cards and would appreciate some feedback:)

It's the newest post on my blog..just use the link through my name

July 5, 2008 @ 4:03 AM

Yup, I'm late too but since it's my first, I decided to submit it anyway. I LOVE these colors together! Because the inspiration shirts and words, I knew I was going to have to incorporate words of some kind... X & O... hugs and kisses. When I knew that, I knew it would be an Anniversary card. Thanks Kristine for a GREAT challenge!
