Color Inspiration #16

071708-color.jpg

Hi all!

This week's color challenge comes from marthastewart.com, and these cute felt baby shoes. Aren't they adorable? I love them so much I want to make them! And the colors they used for the photograph? Hello? Adorable!

Martha Stewart always has the most creative, cute, and crafty projects on her website. I just love to see new projects over there!

Anyhow, have fun with these colors! NOTE: That's Very Vanilla up there, NOT Whisper White. :)

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 18 at 11:59 pm MDT. <--- NEW TIME! You have until basically midnight.

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.

I absolutely love these colors together, great pick Kristina! I wish I knew how to get the colors in my picture to look like they do IRL. The Certainly Celery in my card looks like Wild Wasabi, YIKES I'm, so bummed about that!!! Well here is the link to my card below. It's directly to my blog but you won't have to scroll through my blog I won't be adding anymore posts anytime soon. :)
