Color Inspiration #17

Hi all! Here ya go! Another Color Inspiration Challenge for ya! Enjoy!

This week's photo was found while I was just surfin' the net earlier today. I thought this dress was just gorgeous. I love vintage dresses, don't you? :)

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

Oooh, love the style of this dress! I need a sympathy card and used these colors. They are not colors I would normally choose but that's why your challenges are so great!
