Color Inspiration #20

082608-colorchallenge.jpg

Hi all! This week's color challenge comes from a tip I got over at the forums from Kelly. She suggested I take a look at these chairs over at Pottery Barn Kids. So cute!

I realize that I included Pink Pirouette in the colors this week, which is a new In Color for those in the US and Canada. If you're in a different country, or don't have Stampin' Up! colors, remember that you don't have to use the exact colors I give you. Just something close. So, you could substitute the Pink Pirouette for a different color--perhaps Pretty in Pink. :)

Anyhow, enjoy the challenge this week. I think they're fun colors that aren't too extremely challenging like the last few weeks have been.

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, August 28 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.

It's my first time joining. I have several cards following your color options. I think the Thank You card with circle scallops might work or the 1st cupcake card design.

I'll try to work on another card tonight.
