KWernerDesignBlog: Color Inspiration #15

Color Inspiration #15

Hi all! This week's Color Inspiration Challenge comes to us from West Elm. I just love West Elm! And I love this bedding!

The colors are very autumn looking, and even though it's still summer here, I really was taken with these colors. So soothing. :)

Anyhow, I can't wait to see what ya'll come up with!

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?
Friday, July 11 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.

Hey Kristina, just wondering if I could email you the image, because I don't have a blog, and I'd rather not get an account at Photo Bucket, etc.

What's wrong with me?!?

Wow! What a double challenge this was for me. The colours are not what I would normally look at and I wanted to do a manly card and I like to do girly cards.
Thanks, it was fun to stretch myself.

KellyJ:

Since Carrie at carriestamps changed the Really Rust to Tangerine Tango, I thought I would change the Certainly Celery to Kiwi Kiss. It's a little brighter, but still close enough to keep the "feeling" of the combination. Here's my submission: http://sweetwishesinallyourcreations.blogspot.com/2008/07/wahoo.html

TFL!
